What counts as a medium storage unit?

Medium storage units typically range from 100 to 150 square feet. At US Storage Centers, our most common medium unit sizes are the 10×10 and 10×15 — ideal for storing the contents of a one- to two-bedroom home, including furniture, appliances, and boxes. Whatever size you're looking for, our medium units are built to handle the in-between moments of life.

What can you store in a medium unit?

Medium units are built for more than just boxes. Think full rooms of furniture alongside the everyday items that come with them. Common uses include:

  • Furniture and appliances from a one- to two-bedroom home
  • Moving and transitional storage between apartments or houses
  • Home renovation and remodeling overflow
  • Business inventory, files, and small equipment
  • Seasonal gear, sporting equipment, and oversized items

Both sizes are considered medium storage units but vary in capacity by 50 square feet — so it's worth understanding how much space you need before renting. See our individual size pages to compare your options:

Drive-up or indoor — which is right for you?

Medium units at US Storage Centers are available in drive-up and indoor configurations, depending on the location. The differences go beyond just layout — each option suits a different kind of renter.

Neither option is universally better — it really comes down to what you're storing and how you plan to use the space. Availability varies by property, so we recommend checking your nearest US Storage Centers location to see what's offered.

Month-to-month flexibility

Our medium units are available on a month-to-month basis, so you're never locked into a long-term commitment. Whether you need storage for a few weeks during a move or an ongoing solution for a home project, you can rent for exactly as long as you need.
