"When Covid hit and we had to move my daughter out her dorm with very little notice, we discovered Life Storage. The facility is very clean and secure.

Hopefully we won’t be needing them again until May. They have earned a repeat customer, for sure!"
"Every aspect of our experience with the facility over the past 1.5 years has been A+. Easy to access, clean, brightly lit, secure. Barbara and Marc in the front office are helpful and lovely to deal with and they have bent over backwards on a number of occasions to make sure we had what we needed.
Highly recommended!"

"Very pleased with my experience at Life Storage Libertyville. Staff was always polite, friendly and helpful. Immediately fixed a burned out light bulb outside my unit. All ground level units with drive in access. Carts always available. Clean, conveniently located facility. Definitely recommend. Will use them again in the future if the need arises.

"The customer service and the facility itself are fantastic!!! I've been renting a 10 x 10 unit here for over a year now and this month I accidentally left my unit unlocked after taking the lock home with me on my keychain. Barb proactively called me after they had secured it for me. She's always so friendly and happy to help! On top of that, I continue to be impressed by the building's cleanliness and I love the late night access. I never expected to have such a positive storage experience!!!"
"This company has gone down hill over the past few years. I have been a client for over 10 years, they continue to raise your rates without adding any other benefits. They tell you your rent is due on the first but their contract says it’s due over the course of 3 days, whenever they feel like charging you. Cement floors are crumbling creating dirt and dust. I’m moving my contents to a different storage place with better service and a company who values their customers.
Don’t rent from this company."
"This is easily the nicest storage center I have ever seen. Super clean. I am renting for the second time now and have had a great experience with management. I like the door and camera security and can't think of anything the place is missing."
