Use CityStash Storage to Organize Your Home

Use CityStash Storage to Organize Your Home



Self-storage is a great tool to support you in organizing your Washington DC area home, particularly if you live in an apartment, condo, or small house.  There is never enough storage space!  But the expense of moving up to a larger home is prohibitive for most people.  This is where using self-storage can help, because the cost per square foot is much more affordable.  The trick is to store those items that are too valuable to sell or throw away, but are only used once or twice a year.  


Some examples of this are:
Holiday decorations


Documents


Mementos


Inherited items


Craft and hobby materials


Seasonal clothing


Seasonal sports equipment


Imagine the increased serenity and simplicity created in your home from placing these infrequently used items into self-storage.

There are numerous places to find storage space for rent in Arlington, Washington DC, Alexandria, Bethesda, and Silver Spring.   Prices for a storage unit generally range from $3-5 per square foot.  So a 5x5 storage unit is usually $100 to $125 per month, and a 5x10 storage unit costs about $150 to $200 per month.

However, with traditional self-storage, there are some problems.  First, you have to transport your own household items to their storage facility.  Many people lack the necessary transportation or physical capability to do this themselves.  Second, you have to pay for a specified amount of space, even if you don’t fill it entirely.  This is actually quite difficult to do unless you know how to pack your stuff into a four-foot high, three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle!

City Stash Storage solves these problems.  They are changing how we all do self-storage in the Washington DC and Northern Virginia area.  CityStash Storage will drop off containers (their largest is 34”x24”x20”) and boxes into your living room for you to pack on your own schedule.  Then they will pickup container, boxes, and furniture for free, and transport them to their climate controlled storage facility.  Then, they can deliver any or all of your items back to you on demand for a flat fee.  It is so easy because you never have to leave your home.  You place your initial order on their website and each of your individual stored items (including an inventory of each container and box) is tracked in your own online account.

CityStash Storage is located in Virginia at 1220 N Fillmore St, Arlington VA, 22201 as well as Washington, DC at
