My review is based on multiple storage units over a multi-year time period. It's also based on having been a retail customer and consumer for nearly 80 years, over which time I have come to the conclusion that TRUST is the single biggest factor for me when doing business with any company. My experience with North Star storage, totally through dealings with Chuck, is that I TRUST this man and as a result, I have peace of mind when it comes to all aspects of storing my wordly goods. I can't express my gratitude enough for this man, and for the company that's smart enough to have hired him in the first place and hopefully smart enough to keep him! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at North Star Mini Storage - 400 East Lake Street include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Onsite Manager, Security Camera and Multi-Level Storage. 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.
