Moving to Downtown Orlando? Here’s How to Make Storage Easy Downtown Orlando is buzzing with growth. New jobs, luxury apartments, great restaurants, and a ton of foot traffic make it one of the most desirable places to live in Central Florida. However, with all that convenience and energy comes one major challenge: a lack of space. Whether you’re relocating from out of state or moving into a new high-rise around Lake Eola, chances are you’ve realized something: your apartment isn’t built for bulk storage. That’s where we come in. Know What to Expect When Moving Downtown If you’re moving into buildings like Modera Central, 55 West, Camden Thornton Park, or The Julian, you’ll love the walkability and views - but you probably won’t have a garage, attic, or much closet space. Many residents use our storage units to store: Seasonal items (holiday décor, winter clothes) Bikes, paddleboards, or other outdoor gear Bulk household goods (paper towels, luggage, tools) Office overflow if you’re working remotely Think of a self-storage unit as your off-site closet. And when it’s only a few blocks away in Downtown Orlando, it’s actually convenient. Choose the Right Unit Size Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best storage unit for your needs: 5x5 Unit – Great for boxes, bins, seasonal items, and a few extras. 5x10 Unit – Perfect for one-bedroom apartments or studio overflow. 10x10 Unit – Stores the contents of a 1–2 bedroom apartment. 10x20 or 10x30 – Ideal if you’re moving out of a house or need long-term storage for business inventory. All of our units are climate-controlled, which is a must in Orlando. The heat and humidity can destroy furniture, documents, and electronics if not protected. Pick a Facility That’s Designed for Urban Life A few reasons people choose our Downtown Orlando storage facility : Covered garage access - Park, unload, and stay dry (essential in Florida's rainy weather!) Free carts available on-site - No need to haul everything by hand On-site team - Real people ready to help (not a QR code or kiosk) Flexible rentals - Month-to-month options with fair pricing Easy walk or drive from apartments and homes in the area You’re not heading to the edge of town to store things. You’re storing right here, in your own neighborhood. Store While You Settle In Many people use storage during the first 30–90 days of their move. It’s a great way to: Stage your apartment before fully furnishing it Store boxes you’re not ready to unpack Avoid clutter while you figure out your layout If your move-in date and lease start don’t align, a storage unit is a great temporary solution during that awkward gap.
