I recently vacated my storage unit and reunited all my "treasures." North Star served me well for…read morefour years. There is great security here and I never felt like my possessions were in danger of being damaged by weather or being taken by thieves. Not only do you need a code (that you set yourself) to get in the gate, you also need a different one to get in the building itself where I had my things stored. The customer service here is outstanding and very professional. I never had any issues with trying to get in touch with someone on the rare occasion that I needed to. The storage areas are clean and very well lit and maintained, and it's one of the more reasonably priced facilities that I was able to find. Would highly recommend these folks if you are in need!

What a fantastic storage facility! I had a large unit there for about two and a half years. During…read morethat whole time, they never raised my rent! Due to the top-notch security system, I never had any problems getting access to my unit. No one ever broke into it either. The system is set up where you have to input a unique personal code to even enter the property. Nice little protective measure, right there at the street. Then you drive to your unit, which can be either indoors or outdoors. Mine was inside, because I wanted a warmer, drive-up space for all my stuff. Having the car parked inside--right next to the unit--is very convenient. There are other features that keep everything secure. For example, the doors to the building housing the indoor units will not open unless a valid personal code has been input at the entrance gate. Also, the unique personal codes are linked to specific storage units. So you have to unlock and enter your unit, or else the system will alert an on-site employee. Translation: anyone who is not authorized to enter the property will be unable to gain access to any storage units. Even the people who have legitimate units can only enter their own particular storage spaces. Speaking of security, there are surveillance cameras around the property and inside the buildings. A little redundancy there, but additional layers of security and protection are always reassuring. And you can use your own lock, whatever you prefer. One unusual feature is that the buildings are tucked into a carved-out area of a hillside. That shields everything from the prevailing weather patterns coming out of the north, northwest and west. This makes for warmer conditions. Even during winter visits to my storage units, the 'icebergs' in the wheel wells of my car would start melting and fall off. This facility is situated right on the edge of a large commercial area that contains just about every type of store or restaurant you might need to visit. Closeness to Costco (~ 1 mile away) was helpful to me, because I was able to purchase some inexpensive shelving that helped me get my unit better organized. There's also a Salvation Army Thrift Store nearby. They accepted all my donations of furniture and other salable items when the time came to let go of certain possessions (yes it happens!) and get myself moved out of state on short notice. Finally, the people who work for North Star are very professional, honest and downright helpful. My thanks to you two--Alec and Albert--for the positive difference that you made in my life!

I was concerned about my books and photos when I found this place. I recently retrieved them, and not only were they undamaged by humidity, but very little dust was on any of my stuff. The carts are very helpful and the indoor loading/ unloading area is fabulous in inclement weather. HOWEVER, one or both of those doors seems to be terminally inoperable. I have been too the facility about 6 times in the last 2 years and side from the day I moved in, the doors haven't been fully functioning at any other visit. Also, I understand not having climate control in the "garage" area, but a fan of some sort is desperately needed when the weather is hot or muggy. It was hotter in there than outside this week. Staff - IS there a staff here? I've occasionally seen the woman who checks the storage area, but no one is EVER in the office. In fact, the office is always locked when I've been there. During business hours. Value - I knew the rate i started at was for a limited time. I expected one or two rent increases, but not several. Certainly not too the point that it doubled in less than 2 years. I wouldn't have even been upset at the price IF THEY HAD BEEN UPFRONT ABOUT IT. I know a couple people who also have units, the same size as mine, who haven't had any increase in rates and have been there over a year. The rate increases were not only unpredictable in timing but also in amount. Recommend? Yes, with caveats. The facility for storage i would recommend. The business practices... I would warn others away from.

Before signing up online I went to inspect the property. I saw a large transparent garage door for customer vehicle entrance, two available lumber yard style dollies, a clean and modern facility, and one of 2 operating elevators. had come to take none of these things for granted. Extra Space really needs to say more about their amenities on the website. There was a red flag though: no one in the office. That had been a recurring problem with the other facility. I still had some questions not covered on the website and the chat line was busy. I called. That didn't turn out well. I was asked to verify everything that I had just entered online and was asked to enter my CC on the telephone key pad which kept failing. When the woman on the other end said she would get technical help I hung up and started over. I already had my questions answered. After that, I saw a sign in the window saying the attendant was on the property and gave a number to reach her/him. A good sign, but it had just been put there. A few minutes later the attendant showed up. All that was not enough was not enough to take off a star. When you choose a size locker, if there's more than one of the same type available you are shown a map and you get to choose the location. You pay for the lock on registration which is unique to the Extra Space, in which you insert into the specially designed doors. It's easy to use and hard to pick.

Once in Minnesota, I'm told Zippy Shell can't move our belongings into our home, including the piano, because it is a specialty item. I have also learned that Zippy Shell in Burnsville subcontracts out their deliveries and moving to third party's. Zippy Shell's solution, after over a week delay in delivery, is for ME to hire another moving company to move our belongings the final 20 miles to our home.

The short story: Zero stars…read more I rented at iStorage in 2022 and then again in 2024-2025. If I could, I would give it zero stars. Personally, I would never rent at this location or any owned by NSA ever again. If you are looking for a good storage facility in the area, I found one within 15 minutes of iStorage with superior service, security, and cleanliness for essentially the same price. They even had a coffee station in the office, which was open and occupied by an employee. My expectations have been lowered by my experience at iStorage. The long story: When I first rented in 2022, the experience was fine. The manager at the store seemed experienced and was present during business hours. When I rented again in 2024, I rented my unit online. I couldn't get into my unit because no one was working there and the unit required a key fob. I found out the store didn't even have a manager at the time. In the summer of 2025, I needed additional temporary storage space due to an upcoming move. Here is how it went. - Rented a storage unit. Went to put stuff in the unit. The unit was locked and was not able to be rented. Had to postpone my moving day. - Manager offered to give me a different unit that was the same size. It was smaller. - Paid more for a unit that was larger than I needed. Went to check it out the same evening we rented it because we were moving the next day. It was full of stuff. Postponed moving day again. - Called iStorage the same night that we rented the unit to ask for a refund. The supervisor told me that someone would reach out in the coming week and I should expect a refund within the week. It has been 10 months. I have spoken to countless employees, called the company dozens of times, I still have no refund. There were other negligent and sketchy actions on the part of the company. Such as a manager who gave me his personal cell number, which was completely disconnected two months later. The lights in the building my unit was in didn't work for roughly the last 3+ months I was there and they reduced the security by eliminating the key fob system. The one redeeming quality that iStorage has is that their "storage specialists" are well trained on how to deescalate on the phone, but they really can't do anything to help, which is frustrating.
