Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 8523 Lee Hwy, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Units are old, dusty and hot - elevators were often out of service, trash in the halls, random leaks when it rains. No bathrooms available. The app rarely works to open the gates, but manual entry was fine. No in-person help, the only option is to video chat with a kiosk. Employees definitely smoke cigarettes inside, so the kiosk area smells terrible. ... Read more

Elevator is out of order , I was given a 2nd floor , when requested about this, customer service is asking to pay more money instead of fixing the issue after paying a lot of money at this property. I have to spent extra money even the property Elevator doesn’t work. Worst place to place your luggage. ... Read more

Terrible management, no person is available on site, they do not answer return phone calls ever, the light is still broken in my unit, there’s repeat mouse infestations, and management took away the dumpster that used to be here and now trash is building up, thus attracting more mice. And ditto with the fake reviews. There is no staff on site, and only very rarely a cleaning person. ... Read more

I was helping a friend navigate her move and we had a great experience at this Public Storage, thanks to Tom’s professionalism and exceptional customer service. He went above and beyond to help us navigate a difficult issue, providing clear guidance and solutions with patience and expertise. His kindness and dedication made a stressful situation much easier, and we are truly grateful for his help. We highly recommend this location—ask for Tom! ... Read more

MICE DROPPINGS!! :( For the first few years, this storage space was wonderful. In 2021, I began renting a space here. All was quite smooth. Now, almost three years later, 1) the rent has tripled, and 2) I just found mice droppings!!! They're just inside my door, not hidden inside (I hope!!). The unit across from mine was wide open and empty. I'm guessing it came from them. I will call the office now to remedy this. If they do not, I am moving out immediately and definitely telling everyone I know not to rent here. (I have a large family and circle of friends in the area and lots of ppl use storage here.) Not only do rodents spread deadly diseases, it's just disgusting. I never saw anything like this in previous years. None of my family/friends have said they've ever seen rodents at their storage facilities in the area. The rent issue: they've had about 2 nearly back-to-back, large rent increases in the last few months. That plus the mice... Something is off. ... Read more

The service IS great! James helped me pick out a storage room for me to store…stuff. James took the time to show me the spaces available and was really helpful and kind. Y’all should really check it out if your looking to store some stuff :) ... Read more

There are obviously a lot of fake reviews on this location saying “good location, secure, clean” Those are not true! More than likely incentivized in some way. I have had a unit here for a long while and finally moved my stuff to another Public Storage facility. There used to be a person on site to help with issues, but they are never there and management do not return calls. Inside the units, they are separated by a thin piece of dry wall. The unit beside me moved in a desk and knocked in a big chunk of the drywall to my side. I called over 6 different times and left voice mails about this and no one ever answered or returned my calls. Your belongings will ABSOLUTELY mildew in these units if they are the inside ones. The temperature fluctuates from incredibly hot to very cold. The units are not advertised as climate controlled, but note, your electronics and such probably wouldn’t do well in the units. The whole inside of the facility is pungent with mildew. The locks they give you are circular, and they don’t work very well. I find myself finagling the keys in the lock and hoping it opens. They leave the main gate open for some reason during the work day so anyone can get into the storage area, and with how flimsy the units are, it would be easy to take people’s valuables. Pros: the location is a decent one overall. The price is relatively cheap, however I would rather pay just a little more for a better maintained building elsewhere. There are little carts you can use to help with your moving… if they are in your building (I have had to find them in other ones often times) ... 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 250 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 - 8523 Lee Hwy start from $54 and can go up to $383 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.
