Common Uses for Storage Units
Business storage
Small businesses and contractors use storage units to organize inventory, tools, or supplies without needing additional workspace.
College storage
Students often need temporary storage during school breaks, study-abroad programs, or housing changes. Compact units keep belongings together between semesters.
Moving and reorganizing
Self-storage can provide extra room during moves, renovations, or home projects, helping keep pathways clear while you pack or reorganize.
Military storage
Frequent relocations or temporary assignments can create gaps between homes, and storage offers a place to keep belongings during transitions.
Long-term planning
Some customers use storage for items they want to keep in reserve or revisit throughout the year. A dedicated off-site space can help larger organizational projects run more smoothly.
Climate-Controlled Storage Pricing
Climate-controlled units typically cost more than standard indoor spaces. National averages often range from $114 to $292 per month, depending on unit size and local demand.

Choosing the Right Storage Unit for Your Budget
A few helpful steps can guide you toward the right match:
- Take inventory. List boxes, furniture, seasonal items, or business supplies you plan to store.
- Estimate your size. Use a size guide or estimator to match your list to a unit size, keeping in mind that a little extra space can be helpful for walking paths or added items.
- Think about how often you’ll visit. Drive-up units or locations near the entrance may be useful if you plan to stop by often.
- Consider features. Indoor or climate-controlled units (where available) may be a good match for items you want to keep in reserve.
- Compare locations. Pricing varies across the metro area, so reviewing multiple nearby Public Storage facilities can help you find a rate and layout that aligns with your budget.
Features and amenities vary by location, facility, and unit. “Climate-controlled” and related terms (such as air-conditioned, heated, or humidistat-equipped) describe storage spaces designed to help maintain more consistent temperature or humidity levels compared to non-climate-controlled units. Public Storage does not guarantee temperature or humidity ranges. Availability, features, and unit types may differ by location, facility, and unit. Please confirm with your facility whether specific climate-controlled features are available on units at that location.
