Imagine you have to fit your entire holiday decor, your kayak, which you only use on occasion, and your grandmother’s antique dressing table into a space, which is getting smaller every second continued. The wonders of self-storage!

The units are available in many different sizes and shapes. They are available in different sizes and shapes. The units are available in all sizes and shapes. Everybody can find something. It’s like a friend who promises to help you with your move.

The fun begins. Some units are so sophisticated that they have climate control. This means you don’t have worry about your vinyl album melting, or your comic books turning into papier mache when it gets hot. And security? Fort Knox must be jealous. This includes 24/7 surveillance, gate codes and alarms if anyone even sneezes within your proximity.

Now it’s time to deal with the part of the puzzle that has been a mystery for centuries: the price. The price fluctuates more than the swinging of a pendulum. Location matters–a lot. You will pay a lot to rent a condominium in Manhattan. Condos on the outskirts of town can be as cheap as a single pinky. The larger the condo, the more expensive it will be.

You would think these are temporary areas where people can wait to sort out their lives. This is not true. Some people think of them as second homes for their belongings. They are long-term relationships without the commitment issues.

This is not an easy job. A certain level of expertise is required to pack an entire unit. It’s not necessary to throw everything in at random. You may later find that the box is hidden under a mountain. Plan ahead. Store items you will use soon at the front of the box. Label them as if they were going out of style.

It is also a great way to gain peace of mind. What a wonderful feeling it is to know that all your valuables will be in good hands and yet won’t clutter the living space? Priceless. Priceless.

In essence, should I call it storage? ), these units are more than just square footage for rent; they reflect our lives–ever-changing, sometimes messy, but always moving forward. If we are navigating between different chapters and need to make a stop, self-storage could be the perfect solution.

Remember this next time you trip on your clubs and wonder whether your garage shrank over night. Be sure to bring your own lock! It’s messy. It’s messy.
