Public Storage

Description

As someone who’s moved around quite a bit, I can tell ya that Public Storage has become something of a go-to solution for folks who need that extra space in their lives. Y’know what I love about this Sacramento location? It’s how they’ve managed to keep that mom-and-pop shop feel while offering all the modern conveniences we’ve come to expect these days.

The facility’s been serving the community for nearly five decades now, and boy, does that experience show. From what I’ve seen, they’ve gotten pretty good at matching people with just the right storage solution for their situation. Whether you’re a college student stashing your stuff over summer break or an RV enthusiast looking for a safe spot to park your home-away-from-home, they’ve got options.

Key Features

• Climate-controlled units available – perfect for those delicate items that need special care
• Drive-up access units for easy loading and unloading
• RV and boat parking spaces (because let’s face it, not everyone’s got room for those in their driveway)
• Digital surveillance systems keeping an eye on things 24/7
• Electronic gate access for added security
• Wide variety of unit sizes, from tiny closet-sized spaces to massive garage-style units
• Moving supplies available on-site (saved my bacon more than once!)
• Flexible month-to-month rentals
• Online rental system that lets you skip the counter entirely
• Clean, well-lit facilities that don’t give you the creeps

Best Time to Visit

From my experience, mid-morning on weekdays tends to be the sweet spot for visiting. The facility’s usually less crowded then, and you’ll have better luck getting help from the staff if you need it. If you’re planning to move stuff in or out, try to avoid the first and last few days of the month – that’s when everyone else is doing their moving too!

Summers can get pretty toasty in Sacramento, so if you’re planning any heavy lifting, early morning hours are your friend. And here’s a pro tip: their online eRental system works 24/7, so you can actually sort out all the paperwork from your couch at 3 AM if that’s your thing.

How to Get There

The facility’s really well-positioned in Sacramento, right off one of the main roads. Ya can’t miss it – just look for the distinctive orange signage. There’s plenty of parking available, and the wide driveways make it easy to maneuver even larger vehicles like moving trucks or RVs.

If you’re coming with a moving truck, there’s adequate space to turn around – believe me, I’ve done it myself in a 26-footer! The entrance is well-marked, and the electronic gate system is pretty straightforward to use once you’re set up as a customer.

Tips for Visiting

Listen, I’ve learned a few things the hard way, so lemme share some wisdom:

1. Bring your own lock – yeah, they sell ’em there, but you’ll save a few bucks bringing your own heavy-duty lock.

2. Download their app before you go – it makes accessing your unit way easier, plus you can manage your account right from your phone.

3. Check out unit sizes in person if you can. Those dimensions on paper can be tricky to visualize, and I’ve seen folks rent spaces way bigger or smaller than they actually needed.

4. Take advantage of their moving supplies store – it’s actually pretty competitively priced, and saves you an extra trip to the hardware store.

5. Ask about their insurance options. Your homeowner’s insurance might not cover stuff in storage (learned that one the hard way!).

6. If you’re planning to store anything sensitive to temperature, definitely spring for the climate-controlled units. Sacramento summers are no joke.

7. Keep your gate access code somewhere other than your phone – trust me on this one.

8. Consider getting a unit near one of the facility’s entry points if you’ll be visiting frequently. Those extra steps add up!

Pro tip: Their month-to-month rental system is super flexible, but if you know you’ll need storage for a while, ask about any long-term rental discounts. Sometimes they run special promotions that aren’t advertised.

And yeah, their eRental system is pretty sweet – you can literally handle everything online and go straight to your unit. But I’d still recommend stopping by the office on your first visit, just to get the lay of the land and maybe pick up some insider tips from the staff. They’ve usually got some good stories and advice to share!
