Self Storage Units: Your Space, Your Schedule, Your Control

Self-storage puts you in charge. You rent the unit, you pack it, you access it on your timeline, and you pay only for the space you actually use. No handling fees. No scheduling pickups. No strangers touching your belongings. Just a secure, clean unit that's yours for as long as you need it.

WeHome500 offers personal storage units and mini storage options across our locations, designed for residents, families, and small businesses who need flexible, affordable storage without long-term commitments or hidden charges.

What Makes Self Storage Units the Right Choice?

Self-storage units are the most popular storage format in the United States, and for good reason. They offer a combination of flexibility, control, and affordability that full-service alternatives simply can't match.

You Control the Access

With self-storage, you visit your unit whenever you need to, within facility access hours. No scheduling, no waiting for a delivery window, no middlemen. Your unit is your space and you access it on your terms.

You Control the Organization

You decide exactly how your unit is packed and organized. If you need to find something fast, you know where it is, because you put it there. That level of control is impossible with handled or managed storage.

You Control the Cost

Self-storage is priced on unit size and term length. You choose the size you need, rent month-to-month, and pay only for actual usage. Scale up or down as your needs change, no penalties for flexibility.

Personal Storage Units: Sizes and What They Hold

Personal storage units come in standard sizes designed to match common storage needs. Here's a practical reference:

Mini Storage (5x5 to 5x10)

Mini storage units are ideal for small volumes of personal items, boxes of files, seasonal clothing, small furniture pieces, or collectibles. At 25–50 square feet, these are the most affordable personal storage units available and work well for apartment dwellers and tiny home residents.

Small to Medium Units (10x10 to 10x15)

The most popular size range for personal storage. A 10x10 comfortably holds the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including furniture. A 10x15 adds room for larger furniture or a second bedroom's worth of belongings.

Large Personal Storage Units (10x20 to 10x30)

Large personal storage units hold the entire contents of a two to four-bedroom home. Also used by small businesses for inventory or equipment. Drive-up access is common at this size for easier loading and retrieval.
