What is Neighbor?

In a few words, Neighbor is an online peer-to-peer community that connects those who have extra space with those in need of storage. We love to help our hosts earn extra money and our renters save money. It’s that simple!

We’re on a mission to solve our neighbor’s problems, and that starts with the space issue. Some neighbors have too much, and some have not enough. By building community, working together, and staying neighborly, we are changing the way we think about self-storage.

Types of Student Storage

There are two main types of storage units that you'll want to consider when looking for student storage in Portland, Maine, both of which are indoor storage options.

Climate controlled storage units are good options if you plan to store particularly sensitive items, such as fabric furniture, books, electronics, or other items that could be damaged by extreme temperatures or humidity. However, this will be much more expensive and harder to find. Options could include traditional storage units, bedrooms, or other indoor spaces.

For short-term storage of less sensitive items, a non-climate controlled storage may fit your needs. These spaces, such as drive-up units, garages, or sheds, are often much cheaper and have more availability.

Ourcomprehensive list of available Neighbor college storage spaces in Portland is a great place to start.

As a rule of thumb, a 5x5 will fit one piece of furniture or several boxes, a 5x10 will fit the contents of a 1-bedroom apartment, a 10x10 will fit the contents of a small home, a 10x15 will fit the contents of a 2-3 bedroom home, a 10x20 will fit the contents of a 4 bedroom home, and a 20x20 will fit a lot more.

Motorcycles and other small vehicles generally require a 5x10 storage space while most cars and trucks will fit within a 10x20. For larger trailers, RVs, and other vehicles you will likely need to pull out the measuring tape as they can require anywhere from 10x40 to 20x60 spaces.

We recommend climate controlled storage for most electronics, collectibles, personal items (books, clothing, and photos), and sensitive materials (glass, leather, and metal).

If you live in a dry climate, climate control isn't as much of a concern, though you should still consider temperature's effect on your items.

If you expect freezing temperatures during the period that you plan to store your vehicle, you should definitely consider winterizing your vehicle before storing to prevent unecessary harm to your vehicle.
