Moving is exciting, life changing, hard work, stressful, frustrating - you name it! Moving is also a key reason why folks rent self-storage. A storage unit can help minimize moving stress, simplify the moving process, and give peace of mind that personal items and cherished belongings are safe and secure during the transitional period.
If you’re already 100% decided that a storage unit is just what you need to help you with your upcoming move, visit our Sizing and Pricing page and rent a storage unit in minutes! If you are not sure what size storage unit you need, keep reading this blog post and be sure to access the additional resources we’ve linked to.
We commonly get asked by customers what size storage unit do I need? It can be tricky to pick the right size unit as there are a lot of factors to consider. To help answer this question check out our blog post called What Size Storage Unit Do You Need. It’s a great general resource that our customers find helpful. Since it is more general, we’ve created this resource that focuses on the storage options best suited for a 3-bedroom house.
Not all 3 bedroom homes are created equal, and that is especially true when it comes to their physical size. Some are small and cozy while others are spacious. Garage sizes vary from no garage to a 3-car garage. Another key factor to consider is contents and belongings. Just because you may have a small home does not mean you do not have a lot of stuff. Some folks love stuff and have a lot of it…while others are minimalists (and they may live in large spacious homes that could hold more than they have or want). Another consideration is appliance storage needs. Sometimes a homeowner needs to store appliances, while other times these remain in the home.
When picking the ideal size storage unit for a 3-bedroom house, one of the most important things to consider is what you plan to store in the unit. This will help you determine the right size unit to rent.
Here are some examples of common items in a 3 bedroom home that may need to be stored in a self-storage unit:
If you are looking to store the contents of a 3 bedroom home in a self-storage, these are the three sizes of units to consider:
Our 10’x18’ self-storage unit is comparable to the contents of a small 2-3 bedroom home.
Our 10’x20’ self-storage unit is comparable to a single car garage or contents of a 2 to 3 bedroom home.

Our 8’x40’ self-storage unit is comparable to a 2 car garage or contents of a 3 to 4 bedroom home.

We're genuinely committed to helping everyone find the right-sized storage unit for their belongings, and we offer customers flexibility as their needs change.
We feel it's important that our customers rent only the space they need, for the length of time they need, and that they feel they are getting value and not wasting their hard-earned money. These are the driving forces behind why we're always willing to help our customers rent what they need, even if this means moving to a smaller unit, or a much larger unit. This is also one of the things that makes us very different from other self-storage facilities…and why our customers really like renting from us, recommend us to their friends and family, and give us 5-star reviews online.
