Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 5220 West Highway 290, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I needed a place close to where I was moving to so the location is convenient. I hate that I've been wasting money on a tiny 10x5 unit for almost 2 years now, and I've only been by there probably less than 10 times. ????? My rent increased this month without any warning..and when I used the app to inquire about it, it just took me in circles. Regardless of how hard it is to get to coming from Mopac, I definitely recommend this Public Storage location if you need a place to store parts of your life that you'll forget about in the Oak Hill area. ...

This location has been let to run down. The lights in the hallway outside my unit have needed to be replaced for a year. There is always trash in the driveway and around. The so-called 'climate controlled storage' is less than desirable. Some of my items rusted and had mildew on them. I had to throw away 2 expensive wool oriental rugs that had been eaten by insects. Prices are high and constantly going up. It used to be much better when staff was available, but covid changed that. Now, it is a game of wills trying to talk to someone. People forget to put the carts back, making it difficult to move your belongings in or out. Customer service and any personal attention is a thing of the past. ... Read more

Public storage kept emailing me to leave a review, so here’s my review in one word - ROACHES ??????. I was in the process of moving in on a Friday afternoon, when the movers and I noticed live roaches in the hallways. There was no onsite office with actual people to physically monitor the problem, only a self-service kiosk that connected you to a help agent remotely. The lady I spoke with was empathetic and told me they would get pest control out by the next day to re-treat that area. I received a follow-up call from Shana, the property manager at another public storage location, who said she would ask her boss to transfer me over to another building. Late Saturday afternoon (around 4pm) I went back to the unit and still found live roaches in the hallway. I’m not sure if the additional pest treatment actually happened, or if the infestation was just too massive for it to work. By that point I did not want to wait around for a property manager’s boss to respond to an email during Monday working hours - I needed to get out of there ASAP. I moved out that Sunday, just 2 days after moving in. Obviously I’m extremely disappointed in my experience at Public Storage. I did ask for a refund and compensation for having to use movers twice, so I will update this review with how that goes. Thanks for reading! P.S. My experience with the app was also terrible - Public storage has QR codes at the entrances telling you to download the app so you don’t have to use your access code every time to get in. I would stand in front of the elevator, or right at the very entrance I was trying to unlock, and the app would insist that I was “out of range.” I just used the access code every time. ... Read more

I rented here for about 15 months. The facility is nice and I felt safe leaving my items there for an extended period of time. The front office does not have someone working there at all times, but they have a video chat computer that allows you to connect with someone immediately. The in-person staff I did come across were extremely nice, especially Troy, who was able to help me out with a problem of my own creation. I would absolutely rent here again. ... Read more

Update 10/24 Andy and Shanna have been extremely helpful in addressing several of these issues. Even though they are not on site, they have been super super helpful ****************UPDATE******************** I left my original review 8 months ago. Here to report, things continue to get WORSE!! No dollies, no access to trash, more broken doors and even no electricity a few times. If no electricity, no access into the building. And it is never when there’s a power outage in the area. Oh and did I mention there’s now a deadbolt on the restroom?? Forgot even washing your hands after being at this disgusting place, even if you could get into the restroom, there is NO water in the sink, no soap, no paper towel or toilet paper. There is never anyone on the premises, no dumpster or trash available. Unless they accidentally forget to put the lock on, then trash is everywhere and it looks like dump. The doors of the units break all the time. The bathroom is always out of order. I constantly speak with others I see here and hear of units being broken into. There are cameras outside only so nothing can be done. The place is horribly maintained. Forget trying to get help with any issues, you can only speak to the kiosk with a computer. **Edit** I have tried calling and speaking to someone and receive no help. Bathroom is still “out of order” after being told a work order was put in. There was even an employee in the office who refused to answer the door. I was still there when she left, she claimed it was her first day but she has been seen many times over the past year. ... Read more

I must say...I am more than impressed with the professionalism and attentiveness of Jesse. I work a bunch and sent my kids to get a 24 accessable unit. He gave us the best choice possible and explained the pros and the cons about 24 hr access. We got the last spot available...smaller than I was hoping for but I know he will help me get on a waiting list for the larger 24hr units. I love that they have auto draft without hidden charges or surprises. I also want to thank the owner for keeping it clean and secure with lots of lights and cameras. Jesus even does a walk through for suspicious activity. Thank you in advance. ... Read more

The storage units offered by Public Storage - 5220 West Highway 290 can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 200 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.

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!
