Cathy is such a lifesaver….recently I thought someone had stolen my tools from my car!! For a week my mind scrambled and then Cathy called me asking if I was missing anything?! I was in such a hurry I had left both bags of tools behind my car and drove off. Thank you Cathy for being not only a great manager at storage but a friend as well. Thanks for that. ... Read more

Cathy and James are incredible! They are very knowledgeable and helped me through the process of securing two units. Making great suggestions. Perfect for what I needed!! The facility is wonderful and so very clean. Also, I feel extremely safe. I have a small business and I store product. I was at another storage facility and they went computer controlled with a kiosk manager. ? Not a manager physically on-site. People left trash everywhere and I didn’t feel safe at all. So I moved out. Even though I was there for 15 yrs when there was an on-site manager- he didn’t compare at all to Cathy and James and my units at Extra Storage!!! Thank you, Extra Storage for hiring two amazing people. No other facility can even come close in comparison with Cathy and James… and Extra Storage, 1400 Skokie Hwy, Lake Forest, IL. ... Read more

Extra Space Storage went the extra mile, IMHO. I called because I needed a space for my daughter's dorm room stuff, and even though I don't need it til May, Extra Space set me up nicely. The agent worked diligently to find me the most advantageous deal and really came through. Daughter's school is about one thousand miles from our home and Extra Space really gave me peace of mind. Thanks. ... Read more

I have had a great experience with Extra Space. It’s my “external” closet as I have every little storage space at home. The location is always clean, the team worked with me with I needed to move to a larger unit and their hours allow for me to come and go when I need to. I also love the app I can open the door at the push of a button and don’t have to put in a code. Overall great experience and I am so appreciative of the “extra space”! ... Read more

Recently I rented a small temp.-controlled locker to store furniture in anticipation of a future move. Cathy and her team were very helpful and assisted in finding the proper temp-controlled space, and made sure it was clean, easily accessible and supplied the lock needed for security. Cathy was always available to address my questions in a complete and pleasant manner. Things couldn’t have worked out better! ... 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 20 to 500 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 Extra Space Storage - 1400 South Skokie Hwy start from $37 and can go up to $633 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.
