Need Space but Not Sure Where to Find it?

There are numerous times throughout life where we will find ourselves in need of more space because we have too much stuff.  Sometimes this is an issue of us having too much stuff, but more often it’s because we are moving or painting a room, or having construction work done on our house.  When these issues come up we can’t just throw stuff out, but neither can we store it in our current home.  Fortunately, we now have self-storage units all across the country.  These didn’t always exist, but today we have them, so don’t hesitate to use them.  There is no shame in using a self-storage unit.

Lots of us will find ourselves moving at least once, but most likely many times throughout our life before we settle into a home for a long period of time.  When we are young and moving around we will sometimes be faced with the issue of moving into a smaller apartment.  When this happens it is likely we won’t be able to fit everything we own into the new one, but don’t want to get rid of it; this is when self-storage is great.  It lets you keep your stuff for when you move into a bigger place in the future at an affordable rate.

Another reason we need self-storage units is when we go off to college.  Take Santa Monica, CA for example, if you go to college in this beautiful city but come from the East Coast then self-storage is almost a must.  You shouldn’t be trying to schlep your stuff back and forth across the country.  Renting a unit for summer break or when you go on co-op that takes you far away from campus is a perfect way to cut expenses and keep your stuff safe both from robbers and the elements.  A plus side with a self-storage unit when you’re this age is if you don’t fill it, you can share with friends and cut your costs even more.


If you’re doing construction on your house, or painting a room, one of the simplest ways to manage the stuff in the rooms which will be affected is with a self-storage unit.  Self-storage units today can have their environmental controls adjusted to perfectly suit the requirements of your belongings which you’re storing; so there is no need to worry about damage happening to them.  This will relieve the stress and challenge of trying to fit your belongings throughout the rest of the house, too.
