The Kansas City Northland has had an exploding population in the last ten years creating an expected business and housing expansion. With attractions such as the Kansas City International Airport, the Zona Rosa shopping town, and the Barry Road shopping malls. There are also the Ambassador Road offices with new apartment complexes, a new water park and a baseball diamond tournament park. Also in the area are many new upscale housing areas and high rated schools, not to mention the low crime rate. This part of Kansas City has become a superlative area to live in.  The reduced traffic compared to the rest of the metro area and easy accessibility. The Northland area is only minutes from the city proper, plus the relaxed, friendly atmosphere around the Northland self storage facilities makes for a less stressful moving experience. But, each of these populations also have unique needs for storage which the Northland self storage facilities help ease.

 

Each different population has a unique need which the Northland self storage facilities helps solve. The storage facilities have short, month-to-month leases. So long term contracts are not necessary.

 

The Northland self storage facilities are all on ground level giving ample units with drive up capability making repeated entry easy for businesses.  Many of the Northland self storage units have semi-truck access as well.  Customers can choose from climate controlled units (which of course also controls the humidity that can be oppressive here in Middle America) or non-climate controlled units. This choice gives them what they need for warehousing of products, tools, or out of season equipment while still fitting in their budgets.  The Northland self storage sites have 24-hour access, good lighting, private gate codes, security cameras and wide access street ways. These features help those who need regular or extended hours feel that both their things and they are safe.

 

Pharmaceutical representatives find the fact that some Northland self storage facilities will accept deliveries for samples make this an important bonus.  This along with the climate controlled units, easy accessibility and the fact that downtown can be reached in twenty to twenty-five minutes just makes their job easier.

 

Two Northland self storage facilities have indoor parking for drivable cars.  That helps many who fly in or out of Kansas City International Airport.  Just a short taxi ride on major highways gets them to and from the airport while their vehicle waits for them day or night.  Those who wish to store their collector cars know they will be well protected from the elements too.

 

Apartment dwellers, town house owners and regular single dwelling owners or renters find the Northland self storage is the perfect solution to store out of season clothes, decorations, even furnishings for temporary storage.  Special times such as when preparing a home for resale or when moving and the new place is not quite ready. Consolidating of two households causes storage need for easy rental of a clean, secure, dry space at a reasonable price from trustworthy people can take away the headache.

 

Most Northland self storage sites have either U-Haul or other rental trucks available for both customers and non-customers alike.  Some even give special discount rates for those who rent trucks and need a storage unit.  Just another example of how self storage can make moving easier.

 

Also available is company offered insurance, different payment options and on-line paying. You can still make rental payment with checks, credit cards and automatic credit card payments. These are just some of the ways those who use Northland self storage can pay for their safe, secure and clean storage units.

Finding a place to store your recreational vehicle, boat, trailer, car, or truck can be a problem in an upscale suburban neighborhood where homeowners association rules prohibit parking on the street or in your driveway. Stateline self storage can store all of the above and more. One of the main considerations of vehicle storage is convenience.

Stateline self storage is located on Highway 150, only two stop lights east of 135th and Stateline road. This location provides great access to Overland Park, Leawood, and South Kansas City and U.S. 71 Highway.

Anyone storing their recreational vehicle or boat wants it stored in a secured area. Stateline self storage is completely fenced with large flood lights and entry controlled by individual electronic computer controlled gate codes. All gate activity is recorded on DVD by cameras placed throughout the property. Stateline self storage offers 24 hour access which is really helpful if you want to leave early or return late for fishing trips or a
weekend get away.

Cost is an important consideration in any storing decision. Stateline self storage has four sizes of vehicle storage spaces ranging in size from 16 feet to 56 feet. The advantage of storing at Stateline self storage is the large area and large number of parking spots which means you only has to pay for the amount of space you need.

Also important to vehicle storage tenants is how their vehicle will be treated in storage. All parking at Stateline self storage is on asphalt with each tenant having their own marked and numbered space. The advantage of having your own space is that if you return late at night your space is waiting for you.

Many businesses also use Stateline self storage for vehicle storage. Contractors, landscapers, and anyone that has a trailer finds Stateline self storage very convenient.
Many business customers that store at Stateline self storage take their truck or trailer out every morning and return every evening.

Stateline self storage also offers both climate controlled and non-climate controlled inside storage, ranging in size from a 5x5 to a 10x35. Many vehicle storage tenants also
have inside storage. This allows customers of Stateline self storage to store their vehicle
and their indoor storage things at the same facility. The advantage is that the tenant can pick up his boat or trailer, stop at his indoor storage unit and be on his way.

In addition to the features listed above Stateline self storage has a number of advantages for inside storage. All storage units are on the first floor. All non-climates and a large number of climate controlled units are drive up units. All large units have overhead lights in the units and both climate controlled buildings have a heated and air conditioned loading bay.

Stateline self storage offers additional advantages regardless if you are renting vehicle storage or inside storage. Additional advantages offered by Stateline self storage include payment options of cash, credit card, check, auto debit, or paying on line, a Stored Goods Protection Plan, invoicing of business tenants, and accepting deliveries directly to the tenants unit. Stateline self storage also has a complete line of boxes and moving supplies plus U-Haul truck rental. Last but not least is the advantage that Stateline self storage is most proud of which is our helpful staff. Let us help you.

Remember when self storage used to be old metal buildings out in the middle of nowhere? Well times have changed, especially in the Olmos Park Area of San Antonio. Now Olmos Park self storage buildings are being built in locations that are more convenient for the self storage user. Storage units, locks, boxes, packing supplies and rental trucks can all be found at the Olmos Park self storage facility located near the corner of West Olmos Dr. and San Pedro.

Olmos Park self storage self storage in the Olmos Park area reflects the diversity of the businesses and homes in the immediate area. Here, businesses and families can choose a unit as small as a 5x5 or up to a 10x30. At the Olmos Park self storage location on West Olmos Dr, in addition to choosing the proper size, one now has the option of selecting either non-climate controlled or climate controlled storage. Non-climate controlled storage is referred to as traditional self storage and climate controlled storage is like having an extra room in the house or business for storage.

The Olmos Park area is home to two universities, one boarding school, local area shopping centers as well as many small businesses. Reflecting this diversity is a three story Olmos Park self storage facility right across the railroad tracks from the grocery store. Since almost everyone goes to the grocery store at least once a week, having a self storage facility right across the parking lot is a great convenience.

College students need not travel more then 5 minutes to store their gear for the summer rather than lug it all home.  Sizes that are ideal for the student are usually the 5x5 or the 5x 10. These sizes provide ample storage for the student at a reasonable cost. These sizes are also ideal for the independent business person just getting starting who may be working out of their home and lack the space needed to store records or inventory.  Again, Olmos Park self storage units are here to help.

The larger units are most desirable for the family in transition. The ones that are either in the process of relocating and have not yet rented or purchased a permanent home. Here the 10x15 or larger units will handle all the items that families do not need on a daily basis but will need when they move into their permanent housing. Another good reason to have an Olmos Park self storage is the number of older homes currently undergoing renovation. Why try to remodel a home without taking the opportunity to remove items not currently needed?  Finally, for homeowners who are currently in the process of selling their home, Olmos Park self storage units offer the opportunity to de-clutter the space and make the home more spacious.

Businesses on the other hand will find Olmos Park self storage units on West Olmos Drive a convenient and cost effective way of storing records not needed on a daily basis. In this case the best choice for the business person would be a climate controlled unit. These Olmos Park self storage units may assist the business person by giving them the opportunity of growing without the expense and hassle of having to move their business to another location.

Olmos Park self storage, in addition to offering long term storage, can also provide the temporary storage one may need. Such as when family comes to visit and the spare bedroom that you have been using as a catchall needs to be de-cluttered, so you can actually use the room for the purpose it was intended.

There are a lot of strains on the time and budgets of small business owners. Often the proprietor is responsible not only for the day to day operations of their business, but also for ordering, receiving, marketing and accounting. Add all of these time constraints to the rising cost of retail and commercial rent and it is quite evident why so many businesses fail in their first few years. There are many ways however that successful business people have found to alleviate some of these possible setbacks.
 
The topic that will be covered here is how to alleviate some of the time pressure associated with having to be on site all day for deliveries and at the same time save a large amount of money in housing stored inventory. Many small businesses are too small to justify having a receiving department or an attached warehouse. With the rent in many areas soaring to over ten dollars a square foot, having just two hundred square feet of backroom storage can cost a business up to two thousand dollars a month in added rent expense. The need for the proprietor to drop everything in order to check in and store deliveries can also cost valuable time and be quite a distraction. One way that has been found to easily eliminate both of these problems is to use a self storage facility. One business person spoken to about this raved about how much time and money was saved by using a self storage facility near the intersections of highway 63 and I-70 in Columbia, Missouri. It was stated that the business had been spending a large amount of money in extra rent to store inventory behind his shop and was often distracted by incoming shipments that required immediate attention. A business decision was made to move the excess inventory to I-70 self storage into a climate controlled unit so that it would be just as safe from the elements as being in the back room. When it was discovered that a key could be left with the on site manager of the I-70 self storage facility in order to give suppliers direct access to the unit the decision became a no brainer. Also of benefit was the self storage facility being located so close to the major intersection of highway 63 and I-70. Suppliers could easily find and gain access to I-70 self storage facility since it faced I-70, and the proprietor could easily gain access as well. 
 
The business owner went on to describe how the rent being paid on the previous method of storage had been nearly eight dollars a square foot, but had been reduced to just around one dollar a square foot using the I-70 self storage facility. Over just a few months it had saved him so much money that plans were begun to open a second store near I-70 and Keene street because of the proximity to hotels, hospitals, restaurants and I-70 self storage facility that housed the inventory. The Columbia, Missouri businessman attributed the decision to use the I-70 self storage facility to a decrease in expenses and increase in personal time.  When asked if using the I-70 self storage facility had been the most beneficial decision ever made for the business, the owner chuckled and stated that it was not the most beneficial decisions, but probably one of the smartest.
 
In summation, using a self storage facility such as I-70 self storage can be a great decision for small businesses unable to afford other warehousing. The access to major roads and cheaper prices make I-70 self storage appeals to small businesses more and more.
