Storage Unit Sizes
Small Self Storage Units
Small Self Storage Units range from 5x5 to 5x15. The compact 5x5 unit is similar to a small closet, perfectly fitting a few medium-sized moving boxes, a dresser, and a small bookshelf. On the larger end, the 5x15 unit offers a walk-in closet space, ideal for storing a sofa, mattresses, and several large moving boxes from a one-bedroom apartment.
Medium Self Storage Units
Medium Self Storage Units spanning 10x10 to 10x15, are designed for substantial storage needs. The 10x10 option, comparable to half of a standard one-car garage, holds contents from two bedrooms, including nightstands, bedframes, mattresses, dressers, and assorted moving boxes. For larger storage requirements, the 10x15 unit, akin to a small one-car garage, provides plenty of space for three bedrooms of furniture or an entire medium-sized apartment's belongings.
Large Self Storage Units
Large Self Storage Units in sizes 10x20, 10x25, and 10x30 are designed for more extensive storage needs. The 10x20 unit, as spacious as a standard one-car garage, can store belongings from a small house or multi-bedroom apartment, including entire sets for living rooms, kitchens, and two bedrooms. Moving to a 10x25, you'll find it comparable to a large one-car garage, perfect for a car or all the furniture from a medium-sized home, such as bedroom sets, appliances, and complete living and dining areas. The largest option, the 10x30 unit, is about the size of a one-and-a-half car garage and provides ample room for everything from a 5-bedroom home, including large appliances, TVs, various sofas, dining sets, bedroom furniture, and several large boxes.
Garage Self Storage Units
Garage Self Storage units are often available in sizes 10x20 and 10x30, suitable for cars and smaller vehicles. The 10x30 units are particularly advantageous if you need to store more than just your vehicle, providing ample space for other personal items and ensuring a versatile and secure storage experience.
iStorage Self Storage FAQ
Do I need Insurance?
Yes, insurance is a requirement for any storage unit. If you have homeowners or renter's insurance, it may also extend to your storage unit. Please check your coverage with your agent to see whether storage coverage is included or can be added to your policy. If you do not have your insurance, we require SBOA Tenant Insurance for your items. It is recommended that customers utilize our plan even if they are using their homeowners or renter's policy, as it prevents your insurance premiums from going up in the event of a claim and pays out prior to insurance claims.
Is Month to Month Leasing Offered?
All leases we offer are month-to-month. Whether you only need storage for a month or longer, there is no need to sign an additional lease to accommodate a greater need. Stay for as long as you will need storage without fear of lengthy commitments. While you are welcome to utilize your storage unit for less than a month, prepayment of one month is required and will not be prorated if your use is less than one month.
What documents do I need to reserve a storage unit?
A valid driver's license or Government-issued photo ID is required to rent a unit.
Is There Anything I Can't Store?
Certain items cannot be stored in your storage unit at ANY time. Here is the following list of things:
- Perishables
- Food Items, including canned/sealed goods – even water bottles
- Animals
- Stolen Property
- Hazardous or Flammable Materials
- Drugs
- Explosives/Firearms/Ammunition
- Unregistered Vehicles
- People/Yourself, i.e., seeking shelter from a storage unit
- Anything Illegal
How can I pay my rent each month for my storage unit?
We offer many convenient ways to pay at our locations: automatic payments can be set up, credit card, check, and cash; online, in-person, and phone payments.
What is the difference between access hours and office hours?
Access hours are when our customers can access their units and either load or unload them. Office hours are the hours our office is open for business. Things that you may need during office hours include rent payment – should you opt to pay in person – purchase of additional moving supplies, and transferring or vacating a unit.

james was incredible was very friendly and helpful
James is great! He's very helpful and courteous.
Very good customer service by the guy at the front desk. Very easy to access when you need to get in. I recommend I storage 😊
It was nice, clean, but lately, tenants are not throwing their trash away. The inside units are never swept up, and it shows possible people living with pets in indoor units. Maybe there has been a management change, I have been using this storage for over 2 years, and some change has happened because it's pretty gross around the units and driveways. As far as security and feeling my items are not going to be damaged and are secure I give them 4 stars, new storage attendant has been working hard to clean it up!
James was very well in knowing begat to do and having a great atmosphere
Very helpful
My experience was awesome. The worker name was James. He was so helpful. He was so understanding he just help me out to the fullest and I really appreciate it and I hope he stay around and he need a raise because he was very awesome so polite so well mannered I mean everything I just walked out feeling like at first I walked in with a Rock on my shoulder and I walked out without that rock on my shoulders!!!

James was great! He's professional and very knowledgeable. There is a major downside to this company. I'm used to 24 hours self storage. The hours for you to get in your unit is from 6 a.m. till 10 p.m.
Casey was very kind and helpful. The facility seems very well maintained.
Super responsive management! Got the unit I needed in a matter of minutes and right in my price range. Upon arrival, the property appeared clean and taken care of... even saw a crew doing a trash sweep, loading it into a truck, and hauling it away. The property was noticeably well lit as we were leaving, that gave me a sense of security. Overall feeling very good about my decision to store here.
One thing about istorage is they have been so good to me and my family. I have reviewed them before and still using them to this day! I wanted to return back to say all this time later and the Customer service is still unmatched! Highly recommended! Very professional.

Came in clutch when needed. Very clean unit amd felt very secure.
Process was super fast and easy to do online. Staff was very friendly and helpful when I had questions on site. Secure facility. Very glad I found it!
They are the kindest group of people to deal with there kind helpful and caring about your needs.
Facility is fine and clean, and the staff pleasant and helpful. Website was easily navigable. My only issue is with the insurance requirements and the hoops to jump through if you don't want their renter's insurance.
I've used this company in the past and I always seem to gravitate back too them because they are a top rated company that satisfied all my needs every time, I still recommend individuals to the company.
Great service, and great staff. Very helpful.
Great business!
Rental was simple and staff was geeat
Very affordable storage units they clean and spacious
Great place and hidden right in Norwood. Offers 24 hrs access
Did everything on line and the staff is very helpful
Very courteous, show me the storage area how to get in, and out of the facility. Any questions that I asked was explain in detail, and a very neat and clean place.
Love the ladies
They had the solution in an emergency situation. The units are clean, and monitored with security cameras.
Nick is so wonderfully charismatic and so very helpful !!! He answered my questions thoroughly and very easily. Cat is also a sweetheart!!!!
Way to expensive
Very efficient. Immediately readily showed me The unit. Professional service from 🐈 Cat . Thanks for all you do!!!!
The staff and service here is great! Cat, the manager, exudes customer service. She quickly replaced my storage light, and she makes sure to take care of the customer in front of her if the phone rings. That is their philosophy and I like that. With that being said, they are prompt with return calls (personally speaking). Nick Cross was equally amazing as he assisted me with a concern all the way to the end. He was courteous, empathetic, and very involved. I will refer their clean facilities, competitve prices, friendly services and i will definitely return if needed. Thank you all and keep it up!
Everyone I worked with was so helpful. They got me set up with no issues whatsoever. I first was inquiring for climate control storage at the Madisonville facility, but they were fully booked. Just a quick phone call to Norwood discovered an available unit in the size I wanted and it was set up right away. I really like the location - it’s easy to get to, at the end of a quiet street, and very easy parking and access to the climate controlled units. I even got an Internet deal plus a reduction for taking a second floor unit instead of a first floor one. We’ve been living with so much clutter all spring and summer as we rehab our basement - which meant the loss of the side room I was using for storage. It’s so nice to have all the tubs out of the house and off the side porch. Plus the unit is comfortable and big enough that I can spend some quality time there this fall going through tubs to sift and sort what I’m going to keep. I’m very happy with iStorage!
Cat is awesome. Great! No issues dealing with her. 👍😊 Great place for storage. Very secure. Praying rent doesn't go up again. 🙏
👍
Ok storage place to keep my stuff.. Close to home and very clean
very easy process and nice facilities.
This is our 3rd year of using this facility. Great for Xavier University students!! Cat is always great to work with and this year Erika was awesome. They were overwhelmed with the sudden closures of Universities early and yet they still called and emailed when I asked a question. I'd recommend them highly!
Great service, great prices, best storage spot in Cincinnati!
Friendly staff and great customer service!!! Cat was super helpful with getting everything setup for me in no time at all!!

Smooth transaction. Great customer service!!
My son used SS after freshman year and it was easy and affordable. Cat was very helpful when I called with questions. We will definitely use them again next summer.
We have stored our stuff now 3 years in a row during summer break. Its very convenient to Xavier University. Clean facility, no issues with vermin, everything was as we left it. This year we had a car to store so we talked to the manager Cat. She called us when she was down to the last unit of the size we needed. She's proactive and helpful.
Very easy, pleasant experience booking and renting a unit, thanks to the manager, Cat Rogers, who is very helpful and responsive. The facility is clean and accessible; information is clear and concise. I found the prices more reasonable than other facilities as well.
Very clean, secure, convenient facility. Cat (Mgr) was very efficient, professional, and friendly.
It was July 4th, almost 3 o'clock p.m. everything else was closed. I came here and was in my unit in less than 20 minutes. Very clean place and helpful staff. I am thankful they were able to help me! Will definitely refer to anyone who asks about storage. Thanks again! -Jeff Vogelsong, Master Painter LLC
We received wonderful customer service from Cat, even though we came in shortly before closing. We have only had this storage unit for a week at this point, but from what I have experienced so far, I am very happy I chose this location over other storage facilities.
Ms. Cat, the on-site manager, is a gem. Very helpful and knowledgeable. We are lucky to have her at our location!

Simply Self Storage in Norwood is clean, safe, and efficient. Couldn't ask for a better place to store my stuff for a few months. The manager, Cat, is super friendly and easy to work with. Thank you for the warm reception to Cincinnati!
This is a five star Company and Norwood is a five star operation of Simply Self Storage. From my first search for a storage unit I was helped and guided through the rental process. I came upon the location through a friends recommendation. What could be better! Not only have I recommended Norwood Simply Self Storage to many others I have rented more units. The lockers , buildings and grounds are well maintained. The location is well secured. I feel completely satisfied to have my personal belongings and business storage here. It certainly takes a qualified staff and a good manager to make this a successful business and they are here! I am a very satisfied customer and will remain one as long as I have the need. Thanks very much, Gayle Marsh
