Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 1921 North Gantenbein Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Daniel D. - 3 March 2026
Been renting a space here for a few months now. Jammie is always super helpful and friendly which I really appreciate. The rental and check in process is really easy. The only real downside is that the elevator is broken pretty often, but my experience has been problem free since switching to a ground floor unit. ... Read more
Carter G. - 14 February 2026
Recently had to move in with family and needed a place to store some of my stuff and furniture until I found my own place. The space was a lifesaver! It was close to where I was staying so I could stop by easily and grab things, location was clean and I felt comfortable leaving my stuff there. The manager was friendly and helped me by answering questions about the property while I was moving my stuff in. Definitely recommending and coming back if I have any storage needs in the future! ...

Daniel A. - 2 February 2026
Luckily I did not get a flat tire my first day moving my things in, as there were screws and nails all over the ground. I picked up the ones I could see. I mentioned the issue twice, but it appears no effort has been made to address the problem. While parked to organize and unload my things, the manager, Jaime, honked at me, then proceeded to park half in the handicap spot and half in the striped no parking / handicap access area. There were two other parking spots available on the other side of my car. I spoke with her in the office about the incident. I asked her if she was handicapped. She replied that she was not. She said she usually parked where I was parked, and “her customers” use the other spots. I’m unclear if she was referring to another business, or possibly her personal business? As I am a paying customer of Public Storage, ie. one of “her customers”. The elevator in the facility also gives me grave concerns. The units in the second floor can ONLY be accessed by the elevator. There are not a lot of things in life which scare me, but honestly that elevator makes me slightly afraid. The location is super convenient for me, so I don’t want to move, but if Jaime is the manager, I don’t see things improving any time soon. I’ve also witnessed her being extremely rude to people. This is not only totally inappropriate, it’s wildly unprofessional. ... Read more
Sheryl M. - 30 January 2026
My experience with customer service at Public Storage was incredible. I had some issues with rent and Jammie helped me out a lot. I’m really happy with the service I got. Other than that, it’s a storage unit. The bathroom smelt like cigarette smoke but when storage rent is as cheap as it is here, it doesn’t really matter. I’d rent from here again if I ever need it. ... Read more
Aruna S. - 1 October 2025
Do not ever rent space here. It is not secure. Everything I own was stolen, and what was left was destroyed. Their insurance is a max of 5k so if you have belongings that cost more than that you are out of luck. I trusted them to keep my stuff safe and they failed. When I called for help they treated me horribly and offloaded me to their awful insurance company. Stay very far away. ... Read more
Jordan E. - 5 September 2025
10/10 experience. This was the first time I booked a unit online before, and the onsite manager, Jammie, was so helpful and considerate. She made our short term rental process so smooth and helped us make sure the unit was exactly what we needed before we moved in. I would absolutely rent here again. ... Read more
Kristina B. - 28 July 2025
My experience with Public Storage was terrible - including predatory price increases, insufficient security (including 2 break-ins in 6 months) and poor customer service/responsiveness. The TLDR summary is -- stay away and find a different solution for storage! Public Storage offered a good initial price compared to competitors in the area, offering me a large unit for $424/month. I expected an increase, as it is known that this industry lures you with low initial pricing, but the experience I had is nothing short of "predatory". In the 4th month, the price increased by 39% to $593. I was surprised by the magnitude of increase but continued using the storage unit. About 6 months into my lease, I experienced a first break-in where a pry-bar was used to open metal corrugated doors on the unit, by bending them out of the tracks. My storage unit was at the end of their building, and they did not have adequate security camera coverage. Multiple items were stolen from my storage unit, which amounted to an eventual ~$1500 payout from their third-party insurer through Orange Door. Public Storage was not able to provide another large unit that could fit the contents at the time, so I had to move some more valuable items out (time/effort/expense) and asked them to repair the unit as soon as possible and install a new security camera that covers the end of the building. It took them over 2 weeks to install a plywood cover over the broken door, and 3 months to repair the door (without further securing it). I left Public Storage a key to my unit to facilitate the repair but had no idea it would take 3 months like this (more later). Throughout the whole ordeal, I also was never successful in getting any additional security/lighting or protection added to this part of the building. Shortly after this horrible experience, I was contacted (8 months in) and told that the price was increased to $755/month - a 78% increase since starting the lease. After spending a good amount of time on the phone, the local office reduced that to $633 for "3 months" and I started to make plans to vacate the unit. After planning to move out, I returned to the unit to find that more items had been stolen from the storage unit. Since this happened while Public Storage had access to the storage unit, I contacted their management and suggested they investigate (and filed another police report). They claimed that another break-in had occurred, and they had already repaired the unit again. They had not reached me about either the break-in or the 2nd repair. Throughout the issues, I found it difficult to contact the company representatives. They do not really work through email or text messaging and often don't answer the phone during business hours. I also made 3 separate trips to try to collect the shared key during clearly posted business hours, but there was not employee available onsite. When I did reach local representatives, they were generally nice and helpful. At the end of the ordeal, I asked for a 1-month credit due to poor security and overall experience. This was granted and showed up on my credit card, and I put this behind me (or so I thought). Several months after putting this behind me, I was contacted by a regional office for Public Storage claiming that I was granted a one-month refund that I should not have received. I explained this over the phone to the regional representative, and his attitude was one of complete ambivalence as I relayed all of the issues at which point he told me to pay, or he would send my account over to a collection agency. ...

Jammie is the absolute best property manager you could ever ask for! At every point in the journey, she was there to offer help and guidance in anything that I needed! This is a great facility run by a great team! ... Read more
Hannah R. - 27 April 2025
I’ve been storing with public storage since 2005 and this location is by far the most cleanest facility I have ever been as soon as you walk in the building you can definitely smell it. Kudos to whoever is keeping it clean I want to know ... Read more
Robert S. - 9 April 2025
Prices have been raised on me for the past year and now we can’t access the building during the posted hours because the gate is broken. Will be looking for another facility soon because $100 a month is ridiculous right now. The employee at the desk was kind about the open hours change but I still need to access my unit. ... Read more
Piper S. - 4 April 2025
I’ve been renting at this location for a few months now and I need to say that Jammie, the staff member, has been incredible! She is always on top of things, very attentive, she keeps things clean, and she is always a greeting me by name and with a smile. She is incredible and best part of renting from this location. ...

JC T. - 6 February 2025
I’ve been using this storage for quite awhile. Manager ( Jaime) I am not sure if I spelled that right ? She keeps things in line . Clean which is nice and she keeps the riff raff out . All in all 5 stars . ... Read more
Kori R. - 27 January 2025
Jamie was extremely helpful. She squeezed an appointment in for me at the end of the day to view the unit and then got me all squared away using the Public Storage app. She made it very easy for me to get into a storage space in short time. I would definitely recommend Jamie and the helpful Public Storage app. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 20 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.

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.
