Convenient Indoor and Drive-Up Storage Units

We offer a range of unit types designed to make your storage experience easy, especially in the Twin Cities climate:

• Indoor Drive-In Access Units: This is our most convenient unit type for avoiding the weather. You can drive your vehicle inside our fully enclosed building to load and unload, shielded from rain, snow, and extreme cold. Covered drive-through access like this is hard to find in Minneapolis — and it changes what moving day feels like in January.

• Standard Indoor Units: These are clean, interior units accessed from inside our building, offering an extra layer of ease for your possessions.

• Drive-Up Access Units: Located on the ground level, these units allow you to pull your vehicle right up to the door for the fastest, most direct access to your belongings.

For hassle-free unit selection, you can view our online floor plan map to choose the exact unit location that works best for you. We also provide complimentary use of moving carts to transport your belongings efficiently from our loading areas directly to your unit door.

Storing a vehicle instead? We offer car, RV, and boat storage in St. Paul, five miles east on I-94.

Climate Controlled Storage

In a climate like Minneapolis, where temperatures can swing drastically from below freezing in winter to hot and humid in summer, climate control is not a luxury—it's a necessity. Our climate-controlled units maintain a stable temperature range year-round, which is crucial for sensitive belongings by helping prevent the damaging effects of extreme cold, freezing, or moisture-related issues like warping and mold.

We strongly recommend this feature for storing:

• Wood Furniture and Antiques (to prevent cracking and warping)

• Business Inventory and Paper Records (to avoid degradation)

• Media and Electronics (to help reduce the risk of condensation damage)

• Artwork and Musical Instruments (to maintain structural integrity)
