I moved out of a 4bed house with quite a bit of stuff. I have both a 10'x20' exterior unit and 10'x10' climate-controlled unit. I was *barely* able to fit into these and only because I sold off a TON of stuff. I really wished I had gotten a 10'x30' external (rare) and maybe a 10'x15' climate-controlled.

"Jeff does a really fantastic job running this facility. Always takes time to greet customers, just a genuinely nice guy who takes pride in his job and in maintaining an impeccably clean facility. Keep up the great work Jeff! You are the reason this facility is always so full.
Note to Life Storage management - hire more people like Jeff - people like him reflect really really well on the organization and make customers HAPPY to use your facility.
One example of how Jeff runs the facility - they recently had to relocate all of the campers at the facility in order to make room for a new building. Instead of waiting for formal "eviction" notices to go out to all the camper and trailer owners, Jeff took the time to personally call each of the owners to give them advance notice of the upcoming construction project. This gave all the owners additional advance notice (welcome for everyone) and gave them a chance to ask any questions they had. GREAT JOB JEFF!"
"Jeff was very friendly, professional and courteous. He took his time , explained the property and was very thorough. Everything is impeccably clean and well maintained. It is clear that Jeff takes pride in his work and is looking out for his customers."
