Update*** I had an amazing experience with Bella at Affordable Family Storage on March 15! From the moment I walked in, she went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. Her positive attitude and willingness to help truly set her apart. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, answering all my questions with patience and kindness. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to customer service, and Bella’s exceptional care makes me want to refer everyone I know to this location. If you’re looking for a storage facility with top-notch service, Affordable Family Storage—especially with Bella’s help—is the place to go! Bella at the front desk was very helpful. I understand this is a new facility transition and she went above and beyond to make sure my move in went smoothly. ... Read more

When we first got a unit here it was nice. Climate controlled and affordable. The last 6 months we went to get items it has turned into an unsafe place. The door was broken and it was freezing cold where we could see our breath definitely not climate controlled. We had bird poop on our items. The prices keep increasing it however safety has gone down. I emptied my storage unit on 1/25/25 got there at 9:30 could not get in there was no notification of issues occurring had to wait to gain access at 12pm. The homeless lady at main entrance woke up and told us a water main burst or something. Was so kind of her wonder how long that had been her home. Waited around til noon to get in the place is dirty and cold. Packed up all my items and left before the next price increase took effect 2/1/25. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 100 to 810 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.

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.
