Northcote Self Storage

In Melbourne, storage can be difficult to find, and at Spacer, we aim to make finding the perfect space easy! If you need storage in Northcote, then you can quickly see everything on offer through our listings. Many of our storage unit listings are from private residents and small businesses who have additional storage space they're not using. As we list spaces from private residences, you'll often save your storage costs compared to a storage unit from a purpose-built storage facility. In addition to private storage units, we also have listings of purpose-built storage facilities, so if you require a professional storage unit, you'll find them all in one place!

How to choose storage units in Northcote?

When you're looking for storage in Northcote, the first thing you need to look at is the size of the unit. However, if you've never rented a storage unit before, it can be hard to know what size is best for you. For the best results in choosing a size, you can consider what you plan on putting in it. Other than stacking everything together and measuring, the best way is with an estimated guess. While it may not seem that big, a storage unit the size of a single car garage (3m x 5m x 3m) will have enough room to store everything in most three-bedroom homes. If you're storing the clutter from a similar-sized home, then a storage unit about half this size will be large enough. To make stacking your storage room more accessible, it is best to have good quality tubs or sturdy boxes. Using similar sized packing boxes will mean that you can make the most of your space as there will be few gaps.

After you decide on the size of your storage unit, you'll next consider what security options you prefer. Almost all storage in Northcote will be secured by a padlock that you supply. However, other security options can include CCTV (close-circuit television), pin or swipe card entry, and patrolling guards. Most storage units will have additional security other than the lock you place on the unit. Generally, you may find that increased security means an increase in monthly rent. Therefore, finding a unit that hits both your security expectations and monthly budget is ideal.

The final aspect of storage in Northcote that you need to consider is accessibility. Commonly storage units are available 24/7, with some only being available when reasonable notice is provided. The exact accessibility you require will be determined by how often you need to get to your items. For example, if you store all your items before heading out on a yearlong holiday, accessibility is not a concern. On the other hand, you may find that the more accessible your unit, the higher the monthly cost. The best unit for you is one that ticks all the boxes and fits within your monthly storage budget.

How do I know if my items are safe in the storage unit?

Storage in Northcote is most often used for clutter and other household items and you'll find that it's very safe. Most of the units listed with Spacer are either privately owned or housed within purpose-built storage facilities. While security around storage units are tight, at Spacer, all of our storage units are covered under our insurance of up to $10,000.
