You’ll need a lot of things to make your move easier. Boxes, packing tape, a moving truck, and help carrying your furniture and boxes out of your old house and into the new one are key. Tempe storage units can also be indispensable when you are moving to Tempe, out of the city, or simply to a new place without leaving Tempe. In a Downsize, Tempe Storage Units Make Up for Lost Space Some people downsize intentionally when they move. This is a popular choice for empty nesters and retirees. Other people downsize without specifically trying to do so – after a divorce, you might find yourself trying to move a house’s worth of things into an apartment. Sometimes, moving into the perfect home or neighborhood means having to move into a smaller space, and sometimes a smaller space is all that is available when you first reach Tempe. Whatever reason is behind your downsize, Tempe storage units can provide the storage space your new place doesn’t. Keep Appliances in Storage Until they’re Sold It’s not uncommon to want to sell or give away your old appliances before you move out of your old home, especially if the new house comes with appliances, but in a lot of cases, these appliances are still hanging around as the closing date draws nearer. When you’re in this position, move your appliances into self-storage where they can stay until you manage to sell them or give them to their next owners. In self-storage, they’ll be safe from damage and theft. They can also remain in self-storage as long as you need to keep them safe for their next owners. For Things You Want to Keep When you move, you’re often faced with deciding what to do with the items that cluttered up your old house. Many of these items have sentimental value, but no practical reason to remain in your life. For the items you love but don’t need to have in your home every day, self-storage is the answer. Before it Moves in, Furniture can Live in Self-Storage Moving takes time. Sometimes, it’s not possible to move all your furniture into your home the day you move in. This could be because you’re renovating the new house or because you’re using a personal vehicle that can only move a few things at a time. When items simply have to be out of your old home but can’t get into the new house yet, a self-storage unit can be a great halfway point.
