I have been in these units for over 20 yrs! Since storage sense took over the property is no longer cared for!!!! Overgrowth, pot holes, leaks, rats, cars and trailers left unattended, cars parked limiting access, people living in the units!!! I have called multiple times and they give some crap about bids and nobody wants the job!! However, the good news is they raise the rent every year claiming “rising costs” but don’t put a dime into this property or the units. Also, they are by far and I mean far the most expensive units in the area. Two of my friends and others have bailed since the new ownership!! Deplorable!! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!!! Slum lords no doubt. ... Read more

Being able to do the whole process online and move our stuff in same day was a game changer!! We are in the middle of moving into our new home so not having all the extra stuff we don't need right away taking up space has been a huge help! ... Read more

Very chaotic when trying to get to the unit after renting a unit speaking to someone. Once I got the unit, I found other people's items still in the unit. Very hard to get someone to speak to about it, afterwards. I was unable to use my rented out unit for 5+ days. They prorated some of the costs to mitigate, to make up for my lost time. Essentially, they probably should have done more. Seeing it delayed my movers from doing their job by 6 days. Since then, I haven't had an issue. Time will tell. ... Read more

This company is AWFUL! I would never recommend anyone to come here. I was billed repeatedly for months that were paid in full already, and I had to call over 7 times to speak with the manager in East Haven to try to get this resolved. This is completely unacceptable. My husband and I had been customers for years, but when "Storage Sense" took over and changed management there, it was like a circus trying to get them to understand that I had a zero balance. They told me that "I wasn't the only one this was happening to," and that "It was their system because of the merger." I don't want to hear the excuses as a customer, just fix it and do what's right. I'm over the back and forth like it's a game. You couldn't even give me a free storage unit to use at this point there; they're even still billing me when I paid 100% of what I owed! I want nothing to do with them, and I suggest that everyone avoid the headache and go to Uhaul or somewhere else up the street. Again, this place is terrible. ... Read more

Kelly’s All Purpose storage is the BEST and most professional experience I have ever had with a self storage location. They always go above and beyond to accommodate me and treat me like actual Family. Especially Kelly! She actually takes time to touch base with me and make sure everything is good with the unit. They take great care of the property and it is locked and monitored 24hrs. Everyone has an access code to enter so it’s very safe! ... 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 1,800 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 Storage Sense - 42 Thompson Street start from $109 and can go up to $1,120 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.
