Read some helpful reviews of CubeSmart Self Storage at 21501 42nd Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

We had such an amazing experience here! Jeanette was absolutely incredible — so helpful, professional, and patient. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made the whole process super easy to understand. She was so personable and kind that we ended up signing up for our storage unit right away! Everything was handled quickly and smoothly thanks to her. Highly recommend this place — ask for Jeanette! ... Read more

Jeanette was amazing help!! She was very helpful in showing us available units for a possible upgrade. We discussed prices and she showed us what they looked like. Definitely feel safe with staff and having my personal items storage at this location. ... Read more
Shavana D. - 25 September 2025
Poor customer service. No help at all, phone would just ring out. Do not rent especially in the SubCellar, it FLOODS. After the rain last week, we were informed that the subcellar flooded (probably 200 units) but we weren’t able to access our units for a day. 1 inch of water across the whole subcellar. Saturday morning when we were able to access and see the water damage, they only had 1 staff member on, I waited over an hour to access my unit with the staff member. There was a long line of very angry people waiting to access their units or get new units on upper floors. Why on earth wouldn’t Cubesmart put extra staff on to deal with a whole floor of people with flooded units? Seriously, it’s basic management skills. They also had no policy in place for offering discounts/refunds, The staff member would have to email the district manager to ask if there is anything they could do. You can tell a companies loyalty to its customers when something goes wrong, and Cubesmart couldn’t have done less. Pathetic customer service. 1 staff member, the phone just ringing out and 200 units of water damaged belongings. Emptying my unit out on the Sunday and there is still a 1/4” of water in my unit. Crazy ... Read more

I don’t usually leave reviews, but when I do, it really means something. The staff at CubeSmart, especially Harry and Chris, are always friendly and helpful. The building is consistently clean and well-maintained. Truly a well-managed facility. ... Read more
Baby - 28 June 2025
I had a great experience at CubeSmart thanks to Chris and Harry. Both were incredibly helpful, professional, and patient throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain my options clearly and helped me find the right unit for my needs. The facility itself is clean, secure, and easy to access, but it was really the customer service that stood out. Chris and Harry made everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this location! ... Read more

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience at this storage facility deserves recognition—especially because of Harry (the manager) and Chris (the co-manager). From day one, Harry was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He walked me through every step of the rental process and made sure I was getting the right unit for my needs. You can tell he takes pride in running a clean, organized, and secure facility. Chris was also fantastic. His friendly attitude and attention to detail made a big difference. He helped me with the move-in process, answered all my follow-up questions, and was always available whenever I needed assistance. The facility itself is great, but what really sets it apart is the level of service. With Harry and Chris running the show, I knew my stuff was in good hands. Highly recommend! ... Read more
Yousseff S. - 5 June 2025
I want to express my sincerest gratitude to the team that handled my move. They did an impeccable job, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and care in the handling and wrapping of all my furniture. The attention to detail and the delicacy with which they treated each item was admirable. If I could give them more than five stars, I would do it without hesitation. I highly recommend their services. Thank you for making my move a hassle-free experience! ... Read more
Martha K. - 9 April 2025
Although our unit is relatively nice, this location is constantly open late. Had to wait over 45 minutes once and at least 20 minutes a handful of other times. Store hours say 9-8 but it's more like 10ish - 8. Most of the staff is pleasant, but you occasionally run into a very rude, very unprofessional young lady. No idea what her name is as she refused to identify herself. ... Read more
SK - 1 April 2025
I highly recommend you do not come to this location. This location raised my monthly payment up $80 how is that okay? To $344 a month. I did sign a contract and it said there could be increases but $80! How is this acceptable? I was told it was being adjusted to $280 last month but I saw the next bill and they never adjusted it. I took my things out and cancelled it this past weekend. This location was the absolutely worst they will lie to you for you to just sign up. Stop lying to customers and tell them they might have to pay $80 more monthly on their bills! ... Read more
Ashley A. - 30 March 2025
***UPDATE: CubeSmart had commented below, telling me to email them so they can handle it. I emailed them. They have not responded and it's been a week. I would highly suggest using any other storage site. Rodents happen, but not handling it, not getting exterminators, not cleaning up dead rats is a new thing that I have never, ever seen before. I will be going there next week to check and see if the rat problem has been addressed at all and if the dead rats have been cleaned. Will update. --- They have rats and mice in the units. I have moved around a lot and have separately used storage units for much of my adult life, in between periods of school and have never seen this. My family has been storing clothing and some furniture here while getting the house done. When we went back to get some clothes, we saw dead rats on the ground. The issue isn’t just the dead rats. Though that would be issue enough for most, we’re native New Yorkers and know how it can be. No, the main issue is CubeSmart won’t handle it. They’ve acknowledged it’s a problem in many units. Their included insurance doesn’t cover it. They haven’t removed them. They point us to manager after manager and ask us to escalate but don’t actually offer removal, pest control services, nothing. The most they’ve said is “come back when maintenance is here.” The lack of any accountability has been astounding and THAT is definitely new. No other company has ever been that way before. We’re trying to figure out affording to move our things out. The company simply doesn’t care. They’ve acknowledged they have a problem and have literally shrugged when asked if they’re handling it as a problem within their entire facility. Don’t store your things here! ... Read more
Shazia S. - 27 March 2025
Finally getting around to writing this review. This location is wonderful! I moved to California last year and had to leave 3 expensive bicycles here for a year. I was constantly worried about break-ins, theft, climate control, and how much my renters insurance premiums were going to go up if I had to file for a claim. After a year I came back to retrieve the bikes and everything was just as I had left it! Safe, secure, no issues at all. The staff and security cameras seem to keep a watchful eye on everything. I even called a few times to ask if someone could check on my unit and let me know if it's alright. They obliged and assuaged my anxieties! I'd definitely store with CubeSmart again! ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 20 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 CubeSmart Self Storage - 21501 42nd Avenue start from $19 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.
