People rent storage units for many different reasons, and the things that they store varies greatly from person to person, as does the duration of their rental.
Needing a safe and secure temporary place to store the contents of a home (whether that be a house, apartment, condo, student housing, etc.), is a common reason why people rent self-storage. We have lots of customers who use our storage facility for this reason.
Picking the right sized storage unit for your unique storage needs is very important. Why? You definitely want to have enough room for what you need to store and enough ‘breathing’ room and ‘safe’ space so that there is adequate airflow inside your unit (to prevent condensation and mold) and so that your belongings do not get damaged or broken.
This blog post focuses on what storage unit sizes are ideal for storing the contents of a one-bedroom apartment. For general tips on picking the right sized storage unit to rent, read this blog post - What Size Storage Unit Do You Need.

Similar to house sizes, 1-bedroom apartments can dramatically differ in size. They can range from being spacious, closet-sized, perfect-size and everything in-between.
While size does matter when renting a storage unit, what’s EVEN MORE IMORTANT is what a person has/owns that needs to be stored in the unit. It’s also best to not make any assumptions that just because a person lives in a 1-bedroom apartment, they do not have a lot to store:
The three sizes of storage units best suited to store the contents of a 1-bedroom apartment are:
Our 8’x20’ unit is comparable to a single car garage or contents of a 2 to 3 bedroom home.
Our 10’x18’ self-storage unit is comparable to a large master bedroom.
Our 10’x20’ self-storage unit is comparable to a single car garage or contents of a 2 to 3 bedroom home.
