Read some helpful reviews of Affordable Family Storage at 1851 Madison Avenue #300, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

We were there for over a year and the elevator never functioned. When we complained, they told us it was a convenience and not necessary anyway. That goes to show how much they really care. This is also supposed to be a secure facility and the gate to get in has been broken for at least two weeks. They increased their rates at an appalling frequency! After only four months, we had a rate increase of $30 a month. And it seems to happen every four months. They are also supposed to be climate controlled, and in one building the heat doesn’t work, and the other building the air conditioner doesn’t work.If you are looking for storage, I definitely would not look here. ...

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at Affordable Family Storage - 1851 Madison Avenue #300 include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Online Payment and RV Storage. 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.

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.

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.
