Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 700 South Pickett Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

BEWARE and DO NOT RENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Due to a recent transition, I moved out of my Public Storage unit of 3 years and my mom rented a unit to offload her items from my unit. I submitted a move out in December but scheduled the actual move for Jan 3rd because I couldn’t move out on New Years Eve. I thought surely I wouldn’t be charged the full month if we only used 3 days in January. However on Jan 3rd, I received a charge of $460 for the full month of January. I called the office to confirm I would get a partial refund and was told “I can’t prorate and we don’t prorate”. I explained we had been customers since 1985 and after some back and forth it was obvious they had no intent to refund or discount part of the month’s charges. That means instead of paying $44.49 for 3 days of usage, we paid $153.33/day in January. Also, I and my family have rented units from public storage for 40 years. Sometimes we had 1 unit, others we had as many as 3 units but the money paid to Public Storage is roughly $200,000 over that 40 years. Rent has always gone up here an there but about 8 years, Public Storage started an obscene fee increase campaign which resulted in about $50/mo to $100/mo increases every year. My mom is retired and on a fixed income. As a result, we started spending every Christmas holiday purging things from our storage units. However, because city living is so tight we would always require some form of external storage. With the high costs of moving facilities we never had much choice but to accept the increases. A couple years ago, I learned Public Storage was charging new customers a quarter of the rent they had charged us for years. I periodically checked and new customer rates are still much much lower than existing customers. So as a big thank you to long term customers for spending so much, they give discounts to new customers and drain us financially. So now after 40 years, I’m done. I will NEVER RENT FROM PUBLIC STORAGE AGAIN, I’m moving my elderly mother out of the unit she just rented and I will make sure everybody in the U.S. learns of our experience and don't rent from them. Signed, VERY dissatisfied and customer never again! ... Read more

Brian was very helpful with getting my account squared away. He called me back when promised, and was very professional. Answered all my questions quickly and concisely. He is a top person to deal with and will do what he can to resolve issues for you. ... Read more

Do NOT rent from here. This poorly managed property and terrible staff resulted in literally everything in my 10x15 unit being damaged and covered in black mold, which I am severely allergic to. Several other renters experienced total losses as well. The company they hired to assist with discarding damaged things from the unit stole my robot vacuum. This is what they raised the rent on my units 325% in 18 months for. ... Read more

My storage unit and the hallway lights are out. The elevator was broken for weeks, and now the air conditioning is out. Last, my rent increased from $120 to $200 in just six months. Every time I try to complain, they tell me they’ll talk to management, but nothing gets done. So, I try to call the customer service number but nothing gets done. Miss Waters, the manager, doesn’t even answer. I would love to move all my stuff, but I have a huge storage unit, and that’s not possible since I live in an apartment. ... Read more

The roof had major leakage and we had things ruined. We had mentioned back in January we saw water and dripping from the ceiling into the hallway. They assured us they were handling it. We got a call that a recent storm from a day ago (early July) had caused leakage, however when we arrived there was already black mold in some of our boxes and there were fans and dehumidifier’s throughout the building, however not one was being run. They nicely hired movers to move our stuff that was not ruined to a new, smaller unit and told us we would be refunded for July and have two months of free rent for another two months after that. But, I still have not been refunded and have received bills for August. NOTE: the price they are charging is much more than online. No one will answer my call and I’ve had to ask my Credit Card company to dispute the charges. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS UNIT!!! I have gone by to talk to them, and was told the district manager would get in touch with me, hasn’t happened. Plus, honestly, I never went alone, as we were suspicious that there were people living in some of the units. Very disappointing, Buyer Beware! So far, I can’t believe them. ... Read more
S. B. - 18 July 2025
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the Property Manager Sebastian. He has gone above and beyond to help me downsize from a unit our family has had at this location for many years. He is extraordinarily helpful, available to answer questions and concerns and kind enough to lend a hand. The location currently is clean, carts are easily available and the app works perfectly. I was dreading dealing with this transition but Sebastian has made all of it feel possible. I applaud his extra efforts and dedication to excellent service. I am grateful for the help and the “no problem” attitude. My family cannot thank him enough. Public Storage is fortunate to have him. ... Read more

Most HORRENDOUS Public Storage experience I've ever had! Did online reservation to move in on 12/9/2024. After getting a Uhaul and loading it up, I made my way to The Trashiest Public Storage, the dirtiest public storage, the most ghetto public storage! When I arrived at about 2pm, the Office door was locked. I knocked and nothing. Then more vehicles showed up trying to rent, trying to talk to an employee. I was able to finish my reservation online and get an access code and unit number at that time. We made our way inside to the building. There was trash everywhere. People had stuff laying all over the building and by the elevators. Speaking of elevators, only 1 worked, and it was the one furthest from my unit. So we went looking for a hand cart to use and help us move in. We could not find one. We spoke to another renter in the building, and they told us they are CHAINED AND LOCKED by the dumpster. So again we walked over to the front of the property to find the carts. There are 2 of them chained up. Also at this time we see a woman in a Public Storage uniform. We ask her if she can unlock one for us to use she said " I'm not working so No" she just kept telling us she wasn't gonna help us. I guess having a hideout place to do drugs with your friends in the parking lot is more important than doing her job. This is where I got even more angry! I spent 2 hours trying to reach a property manager an employee ANYONE! I called the help line and they tried calling the property manager and NOTHING. I SPOKE 2 15 DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND GOT NOTHING JUST PUT ON HOLD AND TRANSFERED TO SOMEBODY ELSE THAT COULDN'T HELP. I got transferred to a property manager in Modesto California with a street number of 22304 and NORMA did everything in her power to try and help. She called the property and other properties near by trying to help me. She called me back when she reached a Manny at a property near by Manny called me and he was useless and unbothered by my situation. At this time the employee returned back to the property and went into the office. And still refused to help us. Door was locked. We ended up dragging all of our belongings through the building and loading our storage unit. I will make it my lifetime goal to make sure nobody I know rents at a public storage. As soon as I find a new unit near by I will be leaving public storage forever. I was very loyal to the brand have used them several times over the last 10 years but NEVER AGAIN. I want to speak directly to the district manager in charge of this property. ... Read more

The storage units offered by Public Storage - 700 South Pickett 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 Public Storage - 700 South Pickett Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $80 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $585 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!
