Choosing the Right Storage Unit
After making a list of what you plan to store, use Oakley Gateway Self Storage’s storage unit size guide to help choose the right space. Selecting the correct size helps you avoid paying for unused space.
A 5x10 or 10x10 storage unit is usually ideal for apartment storage, depending on how much furniture and belongings you have. Smaller units fit boxes and small furniture, while larger units like 10x15 can hold the contents of a one- to two-bedroom home. For a more accurate recommendation, visit our storage unit size guide.
It depends on how often you plan to access your unit and what you are storing.
