Paula was amazing! She went above and beyond to help me secure a storage unit online at a much better price than in-store. Super helpful, kind, and professional. She made the whole process easy. Highly recommend! ... Read more
Jesenia M. - 30 September 2025
I have never had a more pleasant experience dealing with the staff at a public storage facility. Paula is an absolute treasure and is the sole reason I will be doing business with this location. She has been so friendly, helpful, compassionate, and easy to talk to. During my time here, I witnessed Paula effectively managing several issues at once. Not only did she do a great job dealing with customers while the computer systems were rebooting and updating, but she also ensured everyone was well taken care of and left happily. Not only did she excel in customer service, but she also was cleaning the facility and ensuring the safety of us and our belongings. I highly recommend this facility for this reason. I can rest easy knowing that someone like her is there watching over the facility. It makes doing business here worth every penny. ... Read more

Paula was such an amazing help. A huge weight off my shoulders with the information she was able to provide. I’ll make sure to keep using the location exclusively (assuming unit prices are within my budget) going forward knowing that Paula is worker the facility. ... Read more
Jonathan U. - 29 July 2025
What a great place to store your valuables or non valuables..lol but either way. A really nice environment. The employees are always very nice. I want to thank paula for assisting me and explaining thoroughly how everything works. When I went from one storage to another, I was downsizing. And even though I was renting the storage online and couldn't finish it, she was there to assist me and help me. So Paula, thank you so much for all your help. You truly made it simple. ... Read more

Dex saved me over $100.00 on my next bill by applying for reductions on 3 of my 4 units that I rent monthly. She was filling in for the manager who is on leave.

I would have given Paula a7 star review if you had it. My husband is handicapped & Paula was always so nice & helpful to him. We never had a problem calling or receiving a call back from her.

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 50 to 200 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 Public Storage - 830 Steel Street start from $41 and can go up to $274 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.
