How do I choose the right storage unit in Durham?
- Size first: a 5x10 fits a studio, a 10x10 a two-bedroom apartment, a 10x15 adds appliances, and 10x20 and up handles a whole house — the Size Guide shows each with examples.
- In Durham, default to climate control for anything that warps, rusts, or fades; every unit at Seminary Street qualifies.
- Downtown tip: the building has a passenger elevator and free carts, so upper-floor units move just as easily and often list at friendlier rates.
- Reserve online before you visit to hold your unit — and if you're timing a move around Duke's calendar, book a week or two ahead of semester turnover, when downtown units go fastest.
