Storage Unit Size Guide

Match common apartment and home sizes to storage unit sizes before you reserve.

Storage sizing depends on how much furniture you keep, whether items can stack safely, and how often you need access.

Common storage sizes

  • 5×5: boxes and small items
  • 5×10: studio or small one-bedroom overflow
  • 10×10: many one-bedroom or light two-bedroom moves
  • 10×15 or larger: larger apartments and homes
