I inherited special items from my parents, which I needed to place in storage. I searched for clean, well-maintained, temperature controlled storage units in the Des Moines metro area and was very happy to find Rich Leonard and Park Avenue Self Storage. The security and cleanliness of his units are second to none. The owner, Rich, is friendly and easy to work with. I give this 5-star facility my highest recommendation for taking good care of precious family items. ... Read more

Rich was so easy to work with. My emails were answered within 24 hours, and when meeting in person to sign paperwork, he got me set up in under 30 minutes and answered all questions. The facility is clean and very secure, so I have no worries about storing property there. The part that I think is best is that this is a local business, not a huge corporation. You're dealing directly with the owner. You just do not get that level of service and interaction at most places. I will rent space only from Park Avenue Self storage going forward if I have the need. ... Read more

My wife and I rented with Park Avenue Self Storage for approximately 2 years as we transitioned from DSM to Mexico and back into a new home. The owner and manager, Rich was easy to work with and very accommodating with all our needs. The cleanliness of our unit and the entire facility combined with the secured and gated property ensured our items were safe and secure. We would recommend Park Avenue Self Storage for anyone with storage needs. Thank you, Rich! ... Read more

We decided on this company for being family owned and operated. We have used the storage units in both non-climate and climate controlled. All areas were secure and checked regularly. We were treated with respect. They were courteous, friendly, and professional. When we needed to change units or add a unit for a family member, they guided us through the process. Highly recommend! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at Park Avenue Self Storage - 5295 Park Avenue include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Indoor, 24 hour access, Drive-Up Access, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Gate, Kiosk Available, Parking and Credit Cards Accepted. 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.
