If I wasn't moving into my new place I'd keep my units. Amazing place, clean, nice, communicative owners, and lots of space to come in if you needed it like I did with my semi. Thanks!

We recently stored our motor home in Edge Storage and was very happy with the storage space and convenience of getting in and out of the storage unit. Payments and communication with this business is very simple. I would highly recommend this storage space!

Great storage unit! We are currently renting a storage unit because of selling our home and they had a perfect size that we could fit everything we needed to store from our 3BR home with no problem!
