Gloucester City Storage has two unit sizes: a 17 × 10 ft unit (170 sq ft) for $199 a month and a 10 × 20 ft unit (200 sq ft) for $224 a month, plus tax. Both are drive-up units with steel doors, and your rate is locked for 12 months.
| Unit | Floor space | Monthly rent | A good fit for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17 × 10 ft | 170 sq ft | $199 + tax | An apartment or smaller home, renovation overflow, business stock |
| 10 × 20 ft | 200 sq ft | $224 + tax | A bigger household move, a car or small boat, contractor tools and materials |
The 17 × 10 storage unit (170 sq ft)
This is our most common size: 18 of our 24 units are 17 × 10. It runs 17 feet deep and 10 feet wide, which works out to 170 square feet. That’s 20 more than a standard 10 × 15 and 30 short of a 10 × 20.
For a sense of scale, StorageCafe’s size guide says a 10 × 15 holds “all the furniture from two or three regular-sized bedrooms or an apartment.” Our 17 × 10 has more floor space than that, so it suits most apartment moves, a room-by-room renovation, or a small business that’s run out of space at home.
The extra depth is handy. Park furniture and tall stacks along the back wall, keep boxes you’ll want soon near the door, and leave a walkway down the middle.
The 10 × 20 storage unit (200 sq ft)
Our largest size, with 6 on site. StorageCafe describes a 10 × 20 as “the same size as the classic one-car garage” and says it can hold the furniture from three or four bedrooms along with appliances and boxes.
Pick the 10 × 20 for a whole-house move, a car or project car, a small boat on a trailer, or a contractor’s tools and materials. Storing a vehicle? Call or text (215) 888-0468 with the make and model, or the boat’s length on the trailer, so we can confirm the fit before you move in.
Size up for just $25 more a month. If you’re on the fence, the 10 × 20 gives you 30 extra square feet for $224 instead of $199.
How do I choose between a 17 × 10 and a 10 × 20?
Household goods from an apartment or a smaller home usually fit in the 17 × 10. Go with the 10 × 20 if you’re storing a vehicle, emptying a full house, or you know you’ll keep adding to the unit.
- Measure the big pieces first. Couches, dressers, appliances and bed frames decide the size more than boxes do.
- Plan to stack. Floor space is only half the story. Sturdy, same-size boxes stack higher and waste less room.
- Leave an aisle if you’ll visit often. You’ll use a little floor space, and you’ll save a lot of digging.
- Still not sure? Text (215) 888-0468 with a list or a few photos of what you’re storing and we’ll tell you which size makes sense.
What every unit includes
- Drive-up, ground-level access, so there are no stairs, elevators or long hallways
- Steel doors (bring your own lock)
- 24/7 access with your gate code
- A fenced lot that’s lit at night
- Your monthly rate locked for 12 months
- A deposit equal to one month’s rent
