Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 8523 Lee Hwy, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Units are old, dusty and hot - elevators were often out of service, trash in the halls, random leaks when it rains. No bathrooms available. The app rarely works to open the gates, but manual entry was fine. No in-person help, the only option is to video chat with a kiosk. Employees definitely smoke cigarettes inside, so the kiosk area smells terrible. ... Read more

Elevator is out of order , I was given a 2nd floor , when requested about this, customer service is asking to pay more money instead of fixing the issue after paying a lot of money at this property. I have to spent extra money even the property Elevator doesn’t work. Worst place to place your luggage. ... Read more

Terrible management, no person is available on site, they do not answer return phone calls ever, the light is still broken in my unit, there’s repeat mouse infestations, and management took away the dumpster that used to be here and now trash is building up, thus attracting more mice. And ditto with the fake reviews. There is no staff on site, and only very rarely a cleaning person. ... Read more

I was helping a friend navigate her move and we had a great experience at this Public Storage, thanks to Tom’s professionalism and exceptional customer service. He went above and beyond to help us navigate a difficult issue, providing clear guidance and solutions with patience and expertise. His kindness and dedication made a stressful situation much easier, and we are truly grateful for his help. We highly recommend this location—ask for Tom! ... Read more

MICE DROPPINGS!! :( For the first few years, this storage space was wonderful. In 2021, I began renting a space here. All was quite smooth. Now, almost three years later, 1) the rent has tripled, and 2) I just found mice droppings!!! They're just inside my door, not hidden inside (I hope!!). The unit across from mine was wide open and empty. I'm guessing it came from them. I will call the office now to remedy this. If they do not, I am moving out immediately and definitely telling everyone I know not to rent here. (I have a large family and circle of friends in the area and lots of ppl use storage here.) Not only do rodents spread deadly diseases, it's just disgusting. I never saw anything like this in previous years. None of my family/friends have said they've ever seen rodents at their storage facilities in the area. The rent issue: they've had about 2 nearly back-to-back, large rent increases in the last few months. That plus the mice... Something is off. ... Read more

There are obviously a lot of fake reviews on this location saying “good location, secure, clean” Those are not true! More than likely incentivized in some way. I have had a unit here for a long while and finally moved my stuff to another Public Storage facility. There used to be a person on site to help with issues, but they are never there and management do not return calls. Inside the units, they are separated by a thin piece of dry wall. The unit beside me moved in a desk and knocked in a big chunk of the drywall to my side. I called over 6 different times and left voice mails about this and no one ever answered or returned my calls. Your belongings will ABSOLUTELY mildew in these units if they are the inside ones. The temperature fluctuates from incredibly hot to very cold. The units are not advertised as climate controlled, but note, your electronics and such probably wouldn’t do well in the units. The whole inside of the facility is pungent with mildew. The locks they give you are circular, and they don’t work very well. I find myself finagling the keys in the lock and hoping it opens. They leave the main gate open for some reason during the work day so anyone can get into the storage area, and with how flimsy the units are, it would be easy to take people’s valuables. Pros: the location is a decent one overall. The price is relatively cheap, however I would rather pay just a little more for a better maintained building elsewhere. There are little carts you can use to help with your moving… if they are in your building (I have had to find them in other ones often times) ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 8523 Lee Hwy has to offer. These amenities include Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Credit Cards Accepted, 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 - 8523 Lee Hwy 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.

Storage units offered by Public Storage - 8523 Lee Hwy come at a variety of prices, starting from $48 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $329 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!
