What’s the difference between an indoor unit and an outdoor unit?
An drive-up unit is most often a drive-up access unit, located on the first floor of a facility, that gives you the ability to load your belongings directly from a vehicle or truck. An interior unit is within the property and will require you to go inside to access your unit. Temperature control units are spaces that are heated and air conditioned. Our units are kept at 53 degrees in the winter and 78 degrees in the summer. We offer interior and drive-up spaces with climate control.

Do I need to insure the contents of my storage unit?
Yes! It is the responsibility of the tenant to make sure that items put in storage are insured. Things happen, weather, fire, unforseen natural disasters. Give yourself peace of mind knowing your items are covered. Check with your home owners or rental insurance policy holders to see if you are covered. Or search self-storage insurance and look for a plan that suits you.
