When a standard unit won't cut it, US Storage Centers at 1880 Whittier Ave rents garage-scale space: about 153 drive-up units running up to 20x20 — a two-car-garage footprint with room for a full household, a contractor's equipment, or a workshop's worth of gear — next to Talbert Regional Park in Westside Costa Mesa. Pull straight to your roll-up door, load from the truck, and be gone in minutes. Around 129 indoor units cover smaller loads, a handful of vehicle spaces round out the property, and month-to-month rentals keep it on your terms.

What storage types does 1880 Whittier Ave offer?

Oversized drive-up units (about 153) from compact 6x12 and 7x7 sizes up to 12x20, 16x20, and 20x20 — the specialty here: direct-load units for full households, contractors, and business inventory, with wide, well-lit drive aisles. Long-format drive-up units (8x24 and 8x30) — narrow, deep footprints for kayaks, ladders, lumber, and racked stock. Indoor units (about 129) from 4x4 to 13x13 — value interior units for boxes and household overflow. Closer to the 17th Street corridor? Our drive-up and indoor units on Superior Ave are a few minutes north. Vehicle spaces (3) — roughly 24-26 ft spaces that stay full; for Costa Mesa's main RV and boat spaces at AA New Storage (26 oversized 12x40 pads), see our sister site at 1741 Whittier Ave, two blocks up the street.

Why store at 1880 Whittier Ave?

This property is built around one idea: big, direct-load space. If your storage arrives by truck — a whole house between moves, a contractor's compressors and material, a landscaper's fleet of tools, a retailer's seasonal stock — the 12x20 to 20x20 drive-up footprints here let you back to the door and work, and the 8x24/8x30 long units solve loads a square room can't. It's also the quiet-corner choice: bordered by Talbert Regional Park rather than a busy commercial strip, with wide aisles and a fully fenced perimeter. Smaller needs still fit — indoor units start at 4x4 — and when the load is a boat or motorhome instead of boxes, AA New Storage two blocks north takes the handoff with Costa Mesa's dedicated 12x40 pads. Renters here tend to stay: the property runs at the pace of working customers — landscape crews out by seven, weekend woodworkers in by nine — and the drive-up layout means nobody carries a table saw down a corridor. If your project outgrows one unit, stepping from a 12x14 to a 16x20 happens on the same aisle rather than across town.
