Kirsten
They are very helpful and friendly. Great access hours and plenty of different unit sizes for all needs.
Andy
I recently had to grab a storage unit for about a week due to lease start/end dates. I worked with Edd(ie?)y and he was so friendly and quick that I actually wanted to leave a review. All in all, the whole administrative process took 20 minutes and it was a pleasure. The storage unit is a good unit, and the staff is excellent.
Michael
The ease of access to storage units in this facility sets it apart. I always found it to be spotless and the staff friendly.
Theresa
Great experience with the most helpful staff!
Kierstin
The facility is very secured and the units are easy to access via the elevator.
Phillip Hanson
Excellent Customer Service/Great Location
Chris
I went to this storage location because of convenience to my location and was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable prices for the size of storage.
Gerald Shorey
Quick service, great staff, and easily accessible.
Shireen
Best storage ever cheap and clean
McCrey
Self-Storage is run efficiently and always has quick, mindful solutions to any problems I have had with my unit. The steps taken for extra security make me feel comfortable and safe storing my property until I return to Chicago. I also really appreciate being able to access my unit late at night even after the receptionist is no longer on duty, because I would often work late and would need to set something in storage later in the evening.
Jamie
Well managed facility with reasonable prices. Great option for your storage needs! I was especially impressed that the facility noticed that we cleaned out our unit and reversed the next monthâs charge BEFORE I had a chance to call and tell them! Showed me how well they monitor the facility.
Rachel
I had nothing but a positive experience storing with Self-Storage 1 - Sheffield! They were a huge help to me while I was in between moves.
Patricia Connell
Moving from a 6 bedroom house in the suburbs to a 3 bedroom condo required quite a bit of downsizing. When we realized we just weren't ready to part with enough stuff yet we sought storage. This facility was close to our condo, had hours that suited us and provided plenty of dollies, a huge elevator, ample parking...in short everything one needs. Staff were very helpful in deciding what space to rent and providing help as requested. Because we still haven't settled on what goes where I am frequently in and out and the facility is always clean and orderly. Never having used storage before I can't compare spaces, but so far this choice seems excellent.
Christina
I was there but for a few months but coming and going was easy. There were dollies available. The entrance and security system worked properly and it was always clean!
Toni Rinaldi
Self Storage 1/Sheffield is the BEST! My initial search was done online - their site was so easy to navigate and the preliminary pricing was the most competitive. When I called to inquire further, I spoke to a rep who was polite, patient with all my questions and so very well informed. I received a formal estimate emailed within just a few hours after our conversation. When I committed to them, the formal process was simple and did not matter that I was 5 states and 870 miles away. Upon my arrival in town, I was greeted and treated like I had been a long time customer. The parking in the area was available and close. The front desk area was neat and organized. I was given a tour of the facility and it was well lit, immaculate and easily accessible both for me and for the movers that we were using. The first move of belongings to the storage unit was simple - the movers pulled their truck right into the bay and the elevator and carts were readily available. The one glitch I faced that day was my code did not work when I tried it the first time - without even having to leave the area I contacted the front desk and it was corrected within a minute. While the movers were working I noticed the manager going through the halls with a carpet sweeper. Midway through the month I received an email with instructions if I wanted to continue the rental for subsequent months but our rental was for one month only. The second move was from the storage unit to the new residence and again it was so easy for the movers. My check it out of the unit was also a one minute process. And I was made to feel like I had been a long time customer. If I have to use a storage facility in Chicago again it will be this one - even if itâs not the closest geographically. They are the BEST!
Ruth Rodriguez
The hours are good but I prefer open 24 hours or open a little late. It is very clean, the location is good and the people who works over there are very friendly and professional
Brian Mosconi
I needed a storage unit in a hurry and found this place. I booked one online and when I went in to get everything settled the girl working was very helpful (unfortunately I can't remember her name). She explained everything thoroughly then took me to my unit and showed me how to use the garage and elevators. The place was clean and well kept and had plenty of carts for moving things. I'd definitely go back here if I need to store anything again.
Matt
Had a very positive, easy, simple experience.
unhappy customer
Rent here if you want guaranteed price increases until you can't afford it any more
Shelly Reyes
It was a great experience renting a unit here. Easy, affordable, convenient and hassle free. Thanks!
Keith McGorisk
Overall, the place is excellent. It is clean, easy to use, convenient to get up to units and plenty of easy to use carts to move stuff in an out. Also, it seems as though the interior of the building is well maintained, including the interior climate. The one complaint is that the light switch timer for my set of unit and those around me is broken. I informed Customer Service and they put another knob on the switch but it is stripped. Thus, to turn the lights on, I need to use a pair of pliers. Not ideal but it is a work around.
William Shuman
I have used many storage facilities, but this place is by far the best!
Pamela Schlade
I would definitely recommend Self Storage 1 on Sheffield. So far, my experience w/ the staff & facility has been very good. The price is reasonable as well.
Peggy
Great price, great service, clean clean place. I have rented at least 15 different places, this is by far the nicest.
Douglas Cutforth
Great booking system and really inexpansive
Adam Romanelli
Great service. Awesome carts It feels more like rooms for your stuff than storage, very inviting.
Andrew
I have been very pleased with Self Storage 1. Their facility is extremely clean and well lit, and the staff has been very helpful. Units are convenient to access, and access is available in the evening after the office has closed. Pricing is also very competitive.
John
Again today I experienced the friendliness, helpfulness, and customer focus of the staff at the desk. The customer service is excellent at this place of business. Seriously impressive. As we all know in our own work, hiring the right people makes all the difference. The staff reflect well on a management style that works. 2/3/18
Dan
This facility has ample parking for multiple people using the dock and elevator at the same time. Easy access to get in and out in no time. The facility is very secure and offers a ton of rolling carts to help move your property. Also, the staff is great - very friendly and helpful.
Lynette OâGrady
Love the employees but our unit is filthy as we got dirt from the building of the new addition and still are getting dirt we cleaned everything in our storage then they gave us plastic to cover the top of the unit which weâve gone thru 2 of those and still dirt covers our things and itâs sucks having to pull stuff out and make sure the plastic still covers the top ( when we 1st moved in I was so happy it was so clean now not happy about the flim of dirt but we like our unit as itâs convince being on the 1st floor and the layout of the unit so we donât want to switch as we have looked into this option
Rebecca
Iâve used this storage space for over a year now and find them friendly and convenient. Always clean and plenty of dollies to help me move my items.
Antonise Cox
The best customer service I have encountered.
Janet
Staff are very nice and helpful. The place is clean including the bathroom. Piped in music, carpeted walkways, comfortable temperature, and convenient hours. They have storage room sizes to meet all your needs..
Louisa St Fleur
I had a great experienc with the company no complaints. The promo pricing was great but I feel like it's a little too expensive for the actual price
Ellen Ewing
The facility is convenient and well maintained, the staff was always friendly and helpful, but I really am upset about the way the long term customers who paid every month were given rate increases that resulted in them paying way over what new customers were charged. Iâm the end we were paying 3+ more than new customers - after their initial deal ended.
Derrek
The Team has been amazing, storage facility is clean, the hours I can access my unit are good. Over all I have been very happy. Thank you for doing a great job!
Danny
Been a customer for over 2 years with no issues.
Eric Lomill
They are extremely helpful and really worked with me. An excellent experience!
Bob Myers
I continue to be impressed with the cleanliness and environment!
Joe Peppelman
Very helpful. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the after hours accessibility. The only thing that does bother me a bit, is that I have been a loyal customer and find that I'm paying more for my units than new customers. That is just not right. In all fairness, they do work with me when they do post an increase and I have to ask for it to be reduced. They do reduce, but I think long term loyal, pay on time clients like me should be the last resort for increases.
Manuel L Avila
Self storage 1 have been my storage for more than six years and the service has been always been good, the storage space has been very well maintained. The renovation of the building was good nice upgrade. My only concern was that there was a period where the rates were jumping up one too frequently but it seems that this trend has been leveling lately and now it appears that they are competitive compared to other locations. So Self Storage 1 is still a recommendable storage for those who are looking for storage space
Paul A. White
My experience at self storage 1, was an enjoyable and satisfying season. I was treated with respect and consideration. And when there were circumstances in which i needed assistance it was given, and never made to feel like an imposition. I sincerely give my thanks to Collin, Doug and the rest of the Self Storage tem for helping me have a successful season. Merry Xmas and Happy hope to see you next New Year!!!
Paul White
I am pleased to be able to share my experience at self storage 1. Which was enjoyable and easy, never made to feel unwanted or ignored, I was always treated with respect and when circumstances were beyond my control, there willingness to help was always given, there kindness, consideration,and trust made for a successful season. My sincere thanks to Collin, Doug and the rest of the Self Storage 1 team. Merry Xmas and Happy hope to see you New Year!!!
Hannah Kenny
Customer service was great. Location is convenient and the summer promo price was excellent. 10/10, would store here again.
Quinton Foshag
I was very happy with my experience at self storage. Only needed the unit for 4 months while I was abroad but anytime I had a question they were there to work with me. Wasn't super excited about the pricing but in the city to have a place as convenient as this one, you really get what you pay for. Great service and all the necessary tools. At times it can be a bit crowded with the 2 elevators but even at those times it wasn't unmanageable. If I need another unit in the future, I will be back!
Joe Pindelski
A pricey place to store belongings, but its location near the Red Line and close to Lake Shore Drive make getting to it easy and efficient. Additionally, the staff are helpful, friendly and prompt in their work.
Jessica engelhart
Has good hours and easy access to move things in and out of unit
Michael C Sanchez
Good pricing, clean and very secure.
DeAnn OâDonovan
This rental facility works well - good staff, well secured and monitored, and reasonably priced for a city location. I would use them again if the need arose.
Adam G Huff
The customer service was top notch as soon as I walked in.
Victoria Borda
I cannot express how wonderful Self Storage 1 is. They are friendly, extremely helpful, and their facilities are always clean and easy to maneuver. I would highly recommend them to my friends/family!
Andrej Rosic
The people at Self Storage 1 really shine in their customer care and ease of use. The facilities are easy to access by foot or by car, and the loading/unloading facilities are able to work with whatever kind of vehicle you have.
Pim
One thing is that I wish the price doesnât go up when youâve been using the facilities for a while.
George Carver
I've enjoyed using this facility. The staff is always friendly and willing to help. the place is always clean, well-lit and secure.
Bob
For 12 years weâve maintained a storage unit at this facility. The management is very good and the site well maintained.
Mary
Great management and well maintained facility.
Steve Wagner
Staff were very helpful during my move in and the availability of the truck to move things is a real plus. Cleanliness and lighting are good and the units are of good size.
Dante
Conveniently located and priced right!
Joan Avery
Met all my expectations and more.
Charles Smolky
Great Management , cordial and accommodating. Very Clean through and especially the bathrooms!
John
My only criticism are the pass code locked entry system and the fact that, even with this, it's not 24 hours. Having to type in a long and difficult to remember password every time you want to open a door or use the elevator is a nuisance. Having this system in place and not being open 24 hours is a bigger one. If you have cameras everywhere and passcoded all the doors why can't I enter during the night?!
Steven Piekarczyk
Always professional and accomodating. As someone who has traveled the world with work during that time, I I have never been concerned about the safety and security of my belongings.
Lora Duschene
Cheapest rates around for the location and staff.
Corinne Levitz
Generally I was satisfied. My only concerns were the yearly increases in the monthly fee which I felt were high. Also, I was told that I couldn't use the dumpsters in the back. It would be a big plus to be able to use the dumpsters (within reason, of course). Availability of a chair on each floor would also be helpful.
Eileen Shud
If you need storage this is the best - price, location, courtesy, friendly, clean, safe, efficient access, ...I am pleased.
Joe
I love my storage unit, itâs very convenient and very well priced.
Chrissy
The storage unit was easy to access and Colin was very helpful when I would forget my code. Everything was convenient and they were quick to answer any emails.
Kyle
Good storage prices and good size units.
jeremy
very helpful staff that strives to satisfy. the storage units are very clean and all common areas are well lit and maintained.
Scott Popp
The grace period to cancel is until the 6th of each month and I managed to be out of town and missed that date by 12 hours yet they were unwilling to make an exception and cancel that month's fee. Unfortunate way to end what had been a pleasant experience.
Basharat
The guy (whose name escapes me at the moment) who answered my questions and then helped me select a unit is great, very friendly and helpful. The first time I came there was a lower price, I wish I knew reserving a unit at that price was an option because within a week or two the prices went up a lot. He still got me a better deal but I wish I knew about reserving at the lower price. It would also be nice if there was some sort of discounted price if we committed to a longer term. The facility is nice, plenty of carts and elevator access. I do wish there was some late-night access, but that seems to be hard to get at most places. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for storage.
Mares M
I've rented multiple units over the years at this location and things only got better and better. The place is very clean and the staff is very helpful and reliable. Best storage place in Wrigleyville for sure.
Alina
This is a great deal, staff are friendly, clean facility.
William
This place was super easy, cheap, and clean. The staff is friendly and makes the storing process as easy as possible.
Ryan Fowlkes
Storage is reasonable but the facility has too many narrow turns especially with the new sections. The doors need to be removed or a new wider enterence added.
Jeff Monroe
Great accessibility and security
John Fitzgerald
I've been a customer here for awhile. Before the addition parking on the side of the building was readily available. Now there is difficulty when more then one person is there. Seems to me that money is by far the priority, which always comes at the expense of the consumer. My husband and I rent three spaces here. Eventually we will be moving out to a more convenient and accessible property.
Joshua Yeatts
A small number of people run this huge facility and they give everybody their full attention. This is not the kind of place where you walk in and there are people lounging behind the counter. They are proactive, honest, and willing to pitch a hand. For example, one of the managers offered to help me move a heavy piece when I needed a hand. You're not going to find that kind of service anymore.
Laura
The storage unit is clean and well maintained...i love how involved the staff is and you never have to go looking for someone in case u need help...very polite staff...
Ravi Marur
I'm extremely happy with this facility. It's a convenient location for me, high quality, easy move-in and move-out, and competitively priced. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Sean Wall
We have not run into any issues with the unit. The building security is comforting and I feel safe keeping my things stored.
Jeremy Johnson
I was impressed with how helpful the front desk was and how painless this process was. They even called me to let me know about a potential late fee I could incur to make sure it didn't happen. 10/10 would recommend.
Chris Means
The space is OK, though there's clearly been some sort of water issue at at least one time. Also, their billing/payment handling seems broken and inconsistent...sometimes even after we paid we'd get reminder emails to pay...kind of annoying.
Alan Villanueva
I've been using the facility for a few months now and everything has been great. From day one the staff has been helpful, attentive, and informative.
Nicole
I stored a couple things over the summer and they were kept just the way I left them. I was the only one with a key to the locker, so there was never a worry about anyone from the company going into my locker for any reason. I got a great deal on the monthly price because I booked during a time when they had an annual price reduction happening. I was very happy with the price and friendliness of all of the staff.
Kieren Ladner
I had assumed that I would need to rent a van for this project. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that Self Storage 1 has a serviceable box truck, which one can use to move in without additional charge. The truck comes with two hand trucks. I canceled the rental reservation. There are a number of flatbed carts available to transport things from the loading area to your space. Our space is on the second floor. Second floor and above are directly accessible by elevator from the loading area. Roll on, roll off. Greg was extremely helpful and friendly. He showed me a variety of spaces, and was informative about details.
Paige
Great customer service, really straightforward storage unit, and a great deal!
Paige
Really friendly staff - super helpful! All straightforward!

Linda
A Very nice neighborhood place if you need storage. They are friendly, cost effective and make the storage process very easy.
Rhonda
very nice place, good service , prices and specials. I would recommend and use it again.
Joshua
Great service, happy with the help I received from Valorie, she was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. Nice place to do business.
Vicki
I chose this location because the specials were great. The location for me is wonderful. I don't drive and they are very easy to get to from the 151 bus or Sheridan red line stop. Works out great!
Angela
I needed to move do to an unexpected emergency. I called last minute and they were able to assist me with no problem. They gave a me a great price, a free truck to move my stuff in, and the place was super clean. I cant thank the ladies there enough.
Jimmy
their internet specials were the best in the area. The free move in truck was awesome. I had a great experience and would use them again.
Trevia
My sister and I put my mothers items in here after she passed. It was so comforting the compassion and care that was extended to us. The staff here really cares about their customers.
Breanna
Self Storage 1 is by far one of the best storage facilities I go to. Valorie is always helpful and friendly the facility is always welcoming and I don't mind being a customer. :)
Susan
This place is great to store your stuff. They're clean, friendly, and affordable! I would definitively recommend storing here.
Laura
Penney was great! really loved how she didn't push me into anything I wasn't comfortable with like other sales people tend to do.
Darby
Great customer service and clean space.
Laura
Just moved in but so far so good!
Kevin
Good pricing & the space fit our needs exactly. Would be great if the check-in process was sped up just a bit. Otherwise, the access to the property, location, and service has been great.
