Personal & 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 Personal & 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 Personal 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?

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
