Pleasantly pleasantly surprised at the cost and size of the unit I am renting. I am taking advantage of their new years promo for reduced pricing for a few months. I rented here about 30 years ago and I am satisfied I made it back here. Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions. There are also things to buy in office if needed. I also was able to secure my rental online first which was convenient. ... Read more

Sasha is the best. Upon arrival she greeted me with a smile. I had lots of questions as renting a storage unit is new to me. Sasha was patient, listened to my needs and made it happen. I was in and out literally within minutes. I hope SmartStop realizes what a gem they have with Sasha. I highly recommend this facility. Lots of them in town, but they don't compare to Sasha and SmartStop. A+++ ... Read more

Kristen! I can't say enough about your positive, vibrant and caring personality!!! During the short time that I have had a storage unit with this Company ( less than a year) Kristen has been so accommodating and helpful! her knowledge of the storage space is so helpful when you have no idea what your doing or what you need/ want like me!!! . I've had a horrible previous experience with a different storage company and I lost a lot of trust for such companies but Kristen has definitely helped me calm that anxiety. Whether she reads this or not I want her to know that she has made a very impactful and positive impression by just being herself! I don't write many reviews unless they have made an impact whether really positive or really negative in this case really positive so i'm taking time out my chaotic day to say that you deserve to be recognized!!! Thank you girlie. ... Read more

Depending on what you need to put away in storage, you can discover there are some things you absolutely need, so make sure you check with the facility manager that you'll find everything you need on site.

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 40 to 270 square feet. Space is not an issue! If you have more belongings to store, or simply bulkier items or even vehicles, you should go for larger storage units.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Monthly prices for units offered by SmartStop Self Storage - 517 North 8th Street start from $82 and can go up to $477 for larger spaces.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
