Yehiah and Lawrence are an amazing team! From the moment I walked into the office at 195, with several questions and even more nerves, they were helpful, patient, pleasant, and of course, professional. They answered all my questions and explained how the facility worked. Yehiah showed me 2 different units, and gave me time to decide. The facility is clean, cool, and dry. I am confident the packed contents of my home are safe and well protected. Many thanks to Lawrence and Yehiah for being so professional and for all their kindness and assistance through this move.

Joseph M. - 15 February 2025
The entire space is clean, secure, and up to date. There is a large bay to drive into, and close the door behind, for sheltered loading and unloading. The entry from there is secured with a pin pad for locker renters. The elevator is modern, large, and padded and functions smoothly. The halls and lockers as well lit. There is a clean restroom. The staff is frequently on the floors cleaning when I come, and the whole facility is spotless and well monitored. The staff have been very helpful with my questions. They showed care when I first applied, that my locker be as convenient to the elevator as possible among the available choices. I absolutely would come back here if I needed storage space again. ...

My overall experience at Life Storage was definitely a positive one! I liked the fact that they had very reasonable rates at the time when I started renting my unit from them. The employee who set me up with my unit was very professional and he was very pleasant to work with. He made sure to give a thorough overview their policy.. while at the same time, he was quick but also very efficient. I didn’t feel like I was getting totally ripped off like a couple other Storage companies tried doing. I was very happy with the size of my storage unit for the price I got.. I also feel the need to point out how clean and easy it is to load/unload your vehicle/storage unit. The indoor bays are great for rainy days so you can stay dry! Also the security is tight. They have a great system to ensure that nobody else can get besides those who are authorized to be there. The ONLY issue I had during the entire time I rented from them was when they increased my monthly rate by 100%. I feel as though they should keep the rate the same throughout the rental duration of a single unit. I don’t think it’s fair that they change the rate month to month if u don’t prepay at least 30 days in advance. But that’s my only complaint. And even with the 100% increase, I still feel as though the rate was fairly reasonable in comparison to some other places. I do recommend Life Storage (I think they’re known as Extra Space Storage now) and if a future situation arises in which I need to rent a storage unit, I would absolutely most definitely without a doubt go back and rent from them again! Thank u! ... 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 25 to 300 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 - 171 Bear Hill Road start from $71 and can go up to $646 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.
