Cory N. - 22 August 2025
My review is based on multiple storage units over a multi-year time period. It's also based on having been a retail customer and consumer for nearly 80 years, over which time I have come to the conclusion that TRUST is the single biggest factor for me when doing business with any company. My experience with North Star storage, totally through dealings with Chuck, is that I TRUST this man and as a result, I have peace of mind when it comes to all aspects of storing my wordly goods. I can't express my gratitude enough for this man, and for the company that's smart enough to have hired him in the first place and hopefully smart enough to keep him! ... Read more

The Minneapolis location is amazing! They offer great service and good advice for first time storage renters.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that North Star Mini Storage - 400 East Lake Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Onsite Manager, Security Camera and Multi-Level 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 North Star Mini Storage - 400 East Lake Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 10 to 232 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 North Star Mini Storage - 400 East Lake Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $50 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $200 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!
