Self Storage and Seniors – Perfect Together!

nj self storage fopr seniorsLife is good! The kids have grown and moved out, and are starting families of their own. We finally have the house to ourselves – Yay!  The problem is that it’s way too much house for the two of us. It’s time to downsize, possibly with a nice condominium in a senior community. No cutting the grass! No shoveling snow! Uh-0h , we forgot about the limited storage space. Where we once had a house filled with children, we now have a house filled with family photos, children’s books,souvenirs from vacations, scrapbooks, trophies, and stuffed animals. Hmmm…What to do? A self storage space  may be the answer!

Once your family memories have been laughed over, cried over, sorted and boxed, take some time to check out your local Self Storage facility. Your family memories are valuable to you, so be sure to choose one with good security features. Most are security gated with video surveillance – some even offer resident security managers. You may also want to consider a climate controlled unit to minimize the effect of extreme temperatures and moisture  on your stored items . Choosing a location close to your new home can provide a simple, and stress-free solution to your problem. You may however, want to get one with a little extra space. I am sure that once the kids find out that you have a storage space, they will want you to share !
