Top 10 Self-Storage Units In Raleigh, NC

Raleigh, NC, is a vibrant metropolis known for Southern hospitality, a strong job market, and warm summers! If you are moving to the Raleigh area (such as in North Hills or off Capital Blvd), downsizing, or just need some extra space, you’re probably going to need to rent a storage unit.

Because of the muggy weather and intense summers native to the Raleigh area, you might want to look for storage facilities with climate-controlled units or climatized residential garages.

However, for less temperature-sensitive items, a climate-controlled environment may not be necessary. Plus, there are many other great storage options without this premium benefit. (Either way, Neighbor can be a high-quality, high-value option for finding nearby storage)

Don’t know where to store your RV when it’s not in use? Here’s a list of the best self-storage Raleigh has to offer.

Self storage tips for Raleigh, NC

Raleigh Storage Tips

What Self-storage Unit Sizes Are Available in Raleigh?

Most storage unit sizes in Raleigh are 5’x5’, 5’x10’, and 10’x10’. However, you can find larger options in the 10’x20’ range, which are generally used for business storage, larger home storage for moving or relocating, or even to store an extra vehicle

Cheap storage units like the 5’x5’ unit usually start in the $35/ mo range and increase from there. 

The more expensive units are typically the climate-controlled storage units in sizes larger than 10’x10’. Climate control can be important for personal storage in NC because of the hot and humid summers. 

Prices will vary depending on size, exact location, security features, and the type of storage space chosen. Take time to consider what you will be putting in the storage unit, so you have enough space for the price you are paying.  

Unit SizeDescriptionStandard Price
Small 5’x5′Ideal for personal items, boxes, small furniture$35/mo
Medium 5’x10′Fits 1 room of furniture or large appliances$90/mo
Large 10’x10′Good for 2-3 rooms of furniture, larger items$140/mo
Extra Large 20′ and upSuitable for a house or large vehicles$385/mo and up

The most popular storage unit size is a 10’x10’ unit. Although you can not sleep or work in your 10’x10’ unit, these are usually fairly priced and fit the content of a one-bedroom apartment. If you are smart about how you pack your things, you’ll be able to maximize the # of items you can comfortably fit in the space. Just remember that you’ll want to store the heaviest items on the bottom and take advantage of the height of your unit. 

Note that most 10’x10’ units will not fit a car, so you’ll need to upgrade to a 10’x15’ or 10’x20’ space. 

Looking for self-storage in Raleigh, NC (or another city along the East Coast)? On Neighbor, a peer-to-peer storage marketplace, you’ll find storage units in a variety of sizes–all at prices 30% lower than traditional self-storage facilities.
