Residential Storage

Donna was so very nice and professional. I was helping my friend Clarice with organizing her indoor storage. Donna would come and ask us if we were okay. I (Renee), would later see her cleaning the spider webs from the eve of the building. I start calling her hard working Donna. Also there was a gentleman that had an open trailer on the back of his truck, and Donna came out to give him directions so as to not knock down the red poles. He finally made it out the gate safe and sound. Donna shows she is a strong woman and very nice positive person. Great job, and definitely a great human being. Love ya, Donna.

Renting was fast and easy, lock and code provided, unit clean and easy drive up. (10x10) Just what I needed and would recommend! Hours are fantastic, but if you need 24 hours like me, it's only a little bit in addition. Worth it!

- Jade Oleander

The manager Donna was very welcoming and attentive. The facility was very clean and easy to navigate. One time my son had forgotten to close our lock and I received a text message after we left letting me know they closed it.

Mike from FL15 Midgard Self Storage was extremely helpful and assisted me after closing time, when my gate code wasn’t working. He resolved the issue within minutes of submitting the request online. Excellent customer service. Thank you very much!

Ms Donna was most helpful for my wife and I. We got out of a unit that was too small for our needs and got into the next size up unit. When we started moving into the new unit we quickly realized the new unit was too small as well. Ms Donna helped us navigate into an even larger unit Ms Donna showed us how we could save money by do a yearly. Ms Donna was not just helpful, friendly and courteous but very professional.

So i ran into a bit of an issue, and my unit ran into delinquent status. I talked with Sal at thr Ocoee location who then directed me to an outstanding customer service line. They're working with me 100% above and beyond and just on pure customer service, I recommend this place to anyone needing a storage facility. These people aren't robots, who just take your money. They have hearts, and compassion. Thank you Sal, amd everyone at Midgard Self Storage!

Fantastic experience… no hidden fees everything is upfront & I am very content. Don’t bother with other places I called many & they all wanted to hike prices ridiculously. Thank you Donna for your immense help & who could forget the amazing virtual assistant!

Residential Storage Solutions

Life comes with plenty of changes - moves, renovations, growing families, or simply running out of room at home. That's where personal storage and residential storage units come in. Whether you need a short-term space for your belongings during a transition, or a long-term home for the things you don't use every day, self-storage units near you can make life a whole lot easier. At Midgard Self Storage, we help individuals and families take control of their space with secure, affordable personal storage options in a variety of sizes and configurations.

In this guide, we'll break down what residential storage is, why you might need it, and how to choose the right solution for your lifestyle.

What is Residential Storage?

Personal storage - also known as residential storage - refers to a rented space at a professional storage facility where individuals can securely store their household belongings. These units come in a wide range of sizes and may be climate-controlled or standard drive-up spaces depending on what you need to store. Self-storage units near you are available with month-to-month leases, giving you the freedom to rent space for as little or as long as you need without a long-term commitment.

Why Do People Use Residential Storage?

People turn to personal storage units for all kinds of reasons, including:

Moving or Relocating
When moving to a new home, personal storage gives you a safe place to store your belongings between moves or while staging your current house for sale.

Home Renovations
Protect your furniture, decor, and personal items during remodeling projects by placing them in a clean, secure residential storage unit.

Seasonal Storage
Free up valuable closet and garage space by storing holiday decorations, patio furniture, or seasonal clothing in self storage units near you.

Decluttering & Organizing
Whether you're downsizing, simplifying, or reclaiming space in your home, personal storage offers a convenient way to keep what you love without the clutter.

Life Events
Major life changes like marriage, divorce, retirement, or the passing of a loved one often require temporary or long-term household storage solutions.

What Can You Store in a Residential Storage Unit?

Life Situation Recommended Unit Personal Benefit
Decluttering 5x5 or 5x10 Units Clear out closets or the garage to reclaim your living space while keeping seasonal items accessible.
Moving Homes 10x20 to 10x30 Units Bridge the gap between leases or home closings with a secure space for your entire household.
Hobbies & Gear Standard Drive-Up Secure storage for sports equipment, camping gear, or tools with 7-day access for your weekend adventures.

Personal storage units can accommodate a wide variety of household items, including:

  • Furniture and mattresses
  • Appliances and electronics
  • Clothing and shoes
  • Books, photo albums, and keepsakes
  • Sports equipment and bicycles
  • Seasonal decorations
  • Patio furniture and gardening tools
  • Boxes and plastic totes of personal items

For temperature-sensitive items like artwork, musical instruments, or antiques, climate-controlled storage units are recommended.
