Self-Storage in Chicago

Self-Storage Units in Chicago

If you’re looking for self-storage in Chicago, we’ve got you covered.

Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, Chicago is the third most populated city in the United States, right after New York and Los Angeles. Chicago was established as a city in 1837 as a port connecting the Great Lakes and the Mississippi watershed. Despite several square miles burning down in the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, Chicago continues to be a major shipping hub for the U.S. as well as a prominent tourist destination for its many museums and cultural institutions.

Chicago Community

Before it became a bustling metropolis, Chicago had been home to several indigenous tribes, including the Potawatomi and the Miami tribes. The first permanent settlement in the area was established in the 1780s by a trader named Jean Baptist Pont du Sable. The land was later handed over to the U.S. Army, where they built Fort Dearborn.

Chicago experienced rapid growth during the first half of the mid-19th century as various industries, from finance to shipping, became well-established, producing a strong economy. The Great Chicago Fire led to the rise of modern construction as the burned-down buildings were replaced with structures of steel and stone. The world’s first steel skyscraper, the towering, 10-story Home Insurance Building, was constructed in 1885.

Chicago also boasts an impressive arts and cultural scene as the home of many prominent theaters, museums and other institutions, including the Goodman Theatre, Joffrey Ballet, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Steppenwolf Theatre, the Garfield Park Conservatory and the Lincoln Park Zoo.

Take a bite out of the city’s busy food scene with a slice of famous Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, an Italian beef sandwich or a Chicago-style hot dog (no ketchup!). Or, if you’re feeling fancy, try out Alinea, which has received three Michelin stars and is one of the most decorated restaurants in the world.

Niche.com gives Chicago an overall A- rating, with top marks for commute, outdoor activities, nightlife, diversity and health and fitness.

About Chicago Self Storage

Most people in Chicago live in apartments, and they aren’t usually big on storage. We also understand that Chicago, like any major city, has some unique storage challenges, and we are here to help.

Chicago isn’t called the Windy City for nothing. The winds off Lake Michigan make for some cold, blustery winters and hot, humid summers. These extreme temperature fluctuations are tough on people and tougher on items like clothing, furniture, collectibles, photos and documents. That’s why Storage Post locations offer climate-controlled units to keep your belongings cozy in winter and cool in summer.

We get that not everyone works 9 to 5, but everyone deserves to access their stuff. Many of our locations offer 24-hour access, so you can come and go on your schedule.

To keep you and your stuff safe, we have state-of-the-art security measures such as personal digital access codes, 24/7/365 security cameras, and motion-activated lighting.

Sometimes, life throws you a curveball, and you need a self-storage solution for a couple of months. Whatever the case, we offer no-contract month-to-month rentals, so you can get the space you need for however long you need it.

We also welcome business and commercial accounts. Whether you need a space to store inventory, supplies, or equipment, we are happy to work with you to meet the storage needs of your small business.
