A 17 × 10 storage unit at Gloucester City Storage costs $199 a month and a 10 × 20 costs $224 a month, plus sales tax. The deposit equals one month’s rent. Your monthly rate is locked for 12 months, with no teaser rate and no mid-year increase.
| Unit | Floor space | Monthly rent | Deposit | Price lock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 × 10 ft | 170 sq ft | $199 + tax | One month’s rent | 12 months |
| 10 × 20 ft | 200 sq ft | $224 + tax | One month’s rent | 12 months |
What does the one-year price lock mean?
The monthly rate on your first bill is the rate you pay for your first 12 months. It doesn’t change at month three, month five or month eleven.
That matters because a low advertised price is often only the opening offer. In February 2026, New York City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection sued Extra Space Storage, alleging “deceptive and predatory pricing practices.” According to the complaint, some customers who started around $100 to $150 a month saw their rent jump to $300 or more (Modern Storage Media). Once your things are in a unit, moving them out again is a hassle, and that’s exactly what makes a later increase hard to walk away from.
We’d rather you know the number up front.

How do your prices compare with other storage near Gloucester City?
Ours come in under the local averages, and they stay put. StorageCafe’s October 2026 figures for neighboring Bellmawr put the average standard (non-climate-controlled) unit at $200 a month for a 10 × 15 and $250 for a 10 × 20 (StorageCafe).
| Comparison | Area average | Gloucester City Storage |
|---|---|---|
| 10 × 15 average vs. our bigger 17 × 10 | $200/mo for 150 sq ft | $199/mo for 170 sq ft |
| 10 × 20 | $250/mo | $224/mo |
So for less than the area’s average 10 × 15, you get 20 more square feet. Averages like these are a snapshot of advertised prices, which can change after you move in. Ours is locked for a year.
Questions to ask any storage company before you sign
- What will my rent be in month five? If the answer is “it depends,” the first-month price is a teaser.
- Is the price I see a promotion? Ask for the regular rate in writing.
- How often do rates go up, and how much notice do I get?
- When can I get to my unit? Gate hours vary a lot. Ours are 24/7.
- Who answers when something goes wrong? A call center, a kiosk, or someone local?
Ask us the same questions. Our answers are short: the same price as month one, no promotion, locked for 12 months, 24/7, and a local person at (215) 888-0468.
What else should I budget for?
Three things: sales tax on your monthly rent, a deposit equal to one month’s rent, and a sturdy lock of your own. Once you’re signed up, you pay monthly rent through our online portal.
