Lack of communication from the property manager. When asking for a simple form, the person who answered the phone said “yeah I told the property manager.” I’ve done this 3x in the past 2 months. Where is the district manager? This location is the absolute worst and the staff is so incompetent they can’t even send a simple email with an attachment. The building is run down and does not have AC. The floors are filthy and gate was left open so your storage isn’t secure. ... Read more

I had an excellent experience at this Public Storage location, thanks to the amazing manager, Milka. She was extremely professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. From the moment I walked in, she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The storage units are spotless, well-maintained, and very secure. You can tell Milka takes great pride in keeping everything clean and organized. If you’re looking for a storage place that’s both reliable and managed with care, I highly recommend this location and especially Milka. She truly goes above and beyond! ... Read more

I had a very pleasant experience with Ms. Milka on 2 June 25. I haven't previously rented from Public Storage and was unfamiliar with my facility's location. My GPS incorrectly gave directions to the 401 South Pickett location, and after unsuccessfully attempting gate entry for several minutes, Ms. Milka saw that I was having trouble and graciously offered to help me, although she had recently clocked out. She pulled up my information and gave me the correct address. I appreciate her kind act. Thank you, Ms. Milka, and may God bless you. ... Read more

I recently rented 3 units at 401 S Pickett Street. The customer service received from Milka has been simply outstanding. I had many questions and Milka was simply wonderful to work with. She helped find the right size storage units and ensured that I was completely satisfied and ready for my household goods to be received. She truly epitomizes excellent customer service, professionalism, and takes pride in her work! I am very thankful for her assistance. ... Read more

They do not answer their phones or return messages. They’ve had a broken elevator in the unit for the better part of a month preventing people from storing or retrieving large items. Ridiculous. Edit: A reply from the business here but they still haven’t picked up the phone or responded to my messages. I need to move out by tomorrow and still don’t know when they plan on having the elevator fixed. How about calling me back instead of an empty response here please. ... Read more

Milka is 100% the only reason my wife and I continue to use this place. There's is no problem she doesn't offer a solution for even when we needed to change units to a bigger one, or when the unit next to us was leaving trash in front of our door she made sure it was cleaned and taken care of and we haven't had any issues long once she gets involved. She's never rude or disrespectful and always has such a calm demeanor to herself. ... Read more

This is the only public storage location, where the office is always closed even during work hours. Just to add, I scheduled a move out for August 25, now my wife received a call from them telling her to remove our stuff today. I wish I can put negative stars. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 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 Public Storage - 401 South Pickett Street start from $86 and can go up to $366 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.
