Chris Smith at Extra Space Storage absolutely knocked it out of the park. He’s the manager, and from the moment I walked in he was extremely helpful, thorough, and professional. He took the time to walk me through everything, answered all my questions clearly, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. The facility itself is truly state-of-the-art and exceeded my expectations. It’s clean, well-maintained, and feels very secure. I was genuinely impressed from start to finish, and I would recommend this location to anyone looking for storage. Thanks again, Chris! ... Read more

We chose Extra Space Storage due to proximity to our home. Chris was wonderful right away! He was personable, thorough, gave a tour, offered various options, gave clear & concise directions, and was always available to assist when needed. To say he went above and beyond really is an understatement. Chris is a valuable asset to the company. The facility itself is clean, quiet, and well maintained. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. We ended up having to relocate which is the only reason we ended our stay, but if we are ever in the area again & have storage needs, this is the location I would choose to keep our items safe and secure. Thanks for everything! ... Read more

Chris at the front was a great representative of this facility. he is very helpful and goes above and beyond. I would recommend this facility to anyone based on my experience with Chris. I had my items in the storage for almost 3 years and everything I took out didn’t have any mold, mildew, or even bugs, which is a huge indicator of cleanliness, especially in New Orleans, Louisiana. ...

Chris was a great help throughout my time here. He really works with you to get the best unit for your needs and best price for it. He also is very transparent about the necessities such as insurance and prorates. Chris even assisted my move out process since I was alone to move out a 10' by 15' unit. I appreciate all of his help. I'm glad to have chosen this storage facility over others just because he made the experience so pleasant. Thanks Chris! ... Read more

5 Stars – Exceptional Service from Chris! I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to take a moment to shout out Chris at this storage facility. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to walk me through all of my options, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot), and made sure I understood everything clearly. Chris has a great personality—super easy to talk to, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping people find the best solution for their storage needs. He didn't try to upsell or rush the process; instead, he made the entire experience feel stress-free and smooth. The unit itself was clean, well-maintained, and secure, but honestly, it was Chris’s customer service that sealed the deal for me. He went above and beyond, and it's rare to find someone who takes that kind of pride in their work these days. Highly recommend this facility—and if you get a chance to work with Chris, know that you're in excellent hands. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Extra Space Storage - 540 North Cortez Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Elevators, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by Extra Space Storage - 540 North Cortez Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 300 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

Storage units offered by Extra Space Storage - 540 North Cortez Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $83 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $995 a month.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
