So, I have absolutely NOTHING good to say about this place.
They have been housing some of my belongings that I have not had room for since about 2015, possibly 2014. I started off paying $100 a month plus $11 for their forced insurance. I am now paying $149 plus $11 for their forced insurance.
If you can't tell, I'm bitter about their so-called insurance. Several years ago my unit was broken into. I did not know this until I attempted to get into my unit with my key. It turned out that the key didn't work with the lock the criminals had so kindly bestowed on me.
I quickly found out that this was no mistake. My unit had been broken into and I immediately noticed my washer and drier were stolen. Initially, I thought that was all. However, upon further inspection, I found a foot locker given to me by my mother and owned by and taken with a relative in WWII was also stolen. It had many boxes of baseball cards, but also had a lot of sentimental items in it. Things I made from school and items from first communion and confirmation. Porcelain dolls that had a story to go along with them. Trophies and ribbons. Swimming meet journals, a time book, and a stopwatch. Tee-shirts from special events. A massage table I used as a massage therapist had also been stolen. Several bins with product in them were also gone.
Needless to say, I was heart broken. I immediately went to the office to report it. I was unable to say when this had happened, as I don't sit there and hangout with my belongings on the weekends, but I did expect this place to protect my belongings. The answer I got was, "The insurance isn't going to help you. You have to prove you owned the item." So, basically, I should have taken pictures of all the items I put in there, a 5 x 10 unit filed from front to back and top to bottom with my belongings. Basically, I had to suck it up. All these years later, I am still sad when I think about those sentimental items that were stolen from me and most likely trashed, because they held no value to the jerk who broke into my unit.
So, yes, I am bitter about paying $11 a month for insurance that won't cover me. I am also bitter about spending $160 a month for a place whose security is far less than stellar and whose lot is constantly broken down and trashy. I cannot tell you how many times I have driven up to the gate only to find the gate wide open. Forget a lock! Walk in with a bolt cutter and you can get into ANY unit. And, if you have half a brain, you can also look up how to pick a lock on You Tube. It doesn't matter what kind of lock you have, but you, as a renter, are required to either buy a lock or rent one of theirs. No, but they are not required to ensure the safety of the lot, to protect your things that you so faithfully, and expensively, stored there.
If you are thinking about storing your belongings here, don't! Run fast and far away from this place! If you have belongings here, get them out! I plan on moving all my things out soon now that I live in a house. read more
