Storage units come in standard sizes that are known throughout the industry.

• The standard smallest unit is 5ft by 5ft and is the same size as a small walk-in closet. This is best for boxes, small chairs, or a lamp or two.
• The standard medium size storage unit is 10ft by 10ft and is the same size as a small bedroom. This is good if you have a few items that won’t fit in a small apartment, but you don’t want to get rid of them.
• The largest standard size is 10ft by 30ft and fits the equivalent of 2-3 bedrooms. This storage size will fit a wealth of furniture, a full-sized vehicle, some travel trailers, and certain boats.

Are Storage Units a Good Investment?

For those that have the time and money to manage one, storage units are a great investment. Storage units are a worthwhile investment due to having very low maintenance requirements. With brick walls and a concrete floor, upkeep is minimal. Unlike a restaurant (for example), there is no food to go bad, so overhead is low. Advanced facilities can operate without a manager on duty, so long the necessary security systems are in place.
