According to the U.S. Department of Defense, as of 2016, the U.S. had a total of 1.3 million men and women on active duty in the military. That number does not take into account the 800,000 men and women in the reserves. Most military members and their families relocate often, and many are deployed on long-term assignments, which often means that they have to pack up the entire family and all of their belongings multiple times. Between relocating, being deployed, and living in relatively small housing units, the additional space that a North Miami Beach storage unit provides can be an immense convenience. Whether you need it for short-term or long-term, a storage unit is a secure location to keep your belongings, and you can always upgrade if you decide you need more space. Relocating & Military Housing There are often wait lists for the nice houses on military bases, which means that families often have to settle for what they can get. Often, this means a smaller home, apartment, or military housing. Our larger storage units are ideal for when you need to relocate, but our smaller units are perfect for longer-term storage if you live in military housing and you just don’t have enough room for everything you own. If you are relocating, our larger units are as big as a garage – or even a two-car garage – so you can store as much as you need while you are moving. For extra storage space, we have the 4’x5’ or the 5’x5’, which are about the size of a small bathroom or closet. We also have 10’x3’ or 5’x7’ sized units, which are similar in size to a walk-in closet. Deployment Military personnel and families that are deployed often have to leave behind the majority of their belongings. Some might give their larger furniture away or sell it, while others might ask family or friends to keep some of their belongings. You don’t have to give anything away or ask people to hold onto your belongings for you. You can simply rent one of our larger storage units and pack it all up until your deployment is over. The best part is, you will know that your belongings are safe in a storage unit where no one can accidentally cause damage to them. Climate-Controlled Storage Units Something you may want to consider is whether or not you want your belongings protected in a climate controlled storage unit. Our climate controlled units protect your belongings from environmental threats like heat and moisture, which can warp furniture, as well as lead to mold and mildew. We offer climate controlled units in all sizes, so even if you are only renting a smaller unit, you can further protect your belongings with this feature.
