Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 490 Eastern Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Stephanie helped me with showing my unit before renting and gave a tour on the ins and outs of the place. She was incredibly sweet and helpful and made sure I understood all the charges for the rental. Thank you Stephanie! The storage itself looked clean, safe and easy to access. And the app for getting in and out of the garage seems to work well. Make sure to call beforehand and make a reservation on the day of move in or to check out the unit as they said there’s not always a staff at the front desk! ... Read more
K Y. - 3 August 2025
I have always found this facility to be clean, well maintained, and I've felt safe when I was as there alone. I have found the customer service to be excellent, and I especially want to mention Rick. I have to move in a few short weeks and realized I could not find my unit keys anywhere. I spoke to a really nice customer service person from the company but then I stopped in to ask Rick what to do and he handled it with the friendliest and most efficient customer service. Moving is a stressful time and I appreciate Rick's easy demeanor and professionalism. ... Read more
Annie N. - 18 July 2025
Rick was incredibly kind and helpful when my partner and I lost our unit keys and needed to get back in and replace them. He was so quick, patient, and courteous, which made all the difference during a really stressful, last-minute move when we had very little time to get everything sorted. We’re so grateful for his support—it took a huge weight off our shoulders. ... Read more
Tom G. - 18 July 2025
I want to express my gratitude for the excellent service I received from Mrs. Stephanie. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a level of patience and kindness that exceeded all my expectations. Even though my English is limited, this lady went above and beyond to ensure I understood every step of the process. She took the time to show me around the place and explained everything in detail, from A to Z. Her clarity and dedication were truly remarkable. This kind of personalized attention and effort is something I deeply value. I highly recommend this place thanks to the wonderful experience she provided. Thank you so much for your professionalism and empathy. ... Read more
Nancy P. - 27 March 2025
Stephanie made everything so simple and straightforward—it honestly felt like we were being helped by a friend who just knew exactly what to do. She was kind, patient, and super efficient without ever making us feel rushed. You don’t always get that kind of care and attention, but she really went above and beyond. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. ... Read more
Genta S. - 25 March 2025
Great service! I’m a first time storage renter. I was greeted by the manager Debra when I walked through the door. She explained the in’s and out’s of using my unit perfectly. The facility is massive and highly secure. Moving my things into storage was a breeze. ... Read more
A K. - 21 March 2025
Stephanie , was so so very helpful in servicing me. I really can't find the right words. What I would and believe that is is my Angel sent from God. ??. So you must keep her forever, if you want things to stay in order. I really really do appreciate her. ... Read more
clara l. - 15 March 2025
The past few months have been nothing but long and filled with chaos. Stephanie has been nothing but THE GREATEST, this morning for my morning appointment. I went in completely frustrated and came out with so much ease and frustrations lifted tremendously. I believe this has been the most pleasant experience I’ve had in the MA area, specifically at her Malden Location. Stephanie gave me advice, solutions, and an overjoyed amount of stress-relief in a stressful time swiftly. Thank you Stephanie for ALL YOU DO! Please recognize your property manager at this location, she is nothing but the BEST. ... Read more

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Keyless Unit Access, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage, Online Payment and RV Storage. 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 Public Storage - 490 Eastern Avenue 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 Public Storage - 490 Eastern Avenue come at a variety of prices, starting from $96 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $576 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!
