SpaceMax Storage

Super helpful and kind staff, the storage units are great and its super convenient for Emory people.

During my time in Atlanta, I ran the gamut of the services available here. I rented a couple of storage units, used their vans for moving furniture, and bought some packing supplies. It’s a great facility, and all of the staff are friendly and helpful. Everything is reasonably (and transparently) priced. I really don’t have anything to complain about.
I don’t have much experience with storage facilities, but from what I’ve seen, this is about as good as they get. Having them just down the street from my house was a huge convenience.

Have you read Neal Stephenson’s dystopian, cyberpunk novel Snow Crash? If not, you really should. It’s a pretty nifty read.
The protagonist Hiro Protagonist (sic) is a disenfranchised, part-​time pizza delivery guy, hacker extraodinaire and sword-​fighter. He also lives in a storage unit.
Of course, this being Dystopia, pretty much the entire population is disenfranchised and storage units are the domiciles of choice unless you work for the Mafia or one of the numerous mercenary groups like ‘General Jim’s Defense System,‘Admiral Bob’s Global Security’ or the remnants of the US Govt.
In this world, a Spacemax storage unit would be considered the pinnacle of aspirational living-​space: The contemporary equivalent of the 8-​bedroom, 4-​car garage, 2-​acre plot next to a private golf club.
I’m serious. This place makes Public Storage look like Rome after the Huns got through with it.
First of all, it’s so clean it will make you call the maid service as soon as you get home and see your living room all covered in cheerios, old magazines and animal fur. I’ve been in out at least 20 times and have yet to see a single spec of dust, a scrap of paper or even a stray dust bunny. Compare this to the last public storage unit I was shown where the dust bunnies were well on their way to starting their own commune.
There are cameras everywhere. I’ve never felt this safe since I left Singapore. It kinda puts a damper on your break-​dancing in the elevator as you hum ‘smooth criminal’ to yourself but at least you know your tupperware is safe from the various criminal elements hanging about Emory/​Toco hills/Morningside.You need a PIN to get inside the building and another one to operate the elevator. It will only take you to the floor you have the unit on.
It’s a multi-​story building. I like the fact that they are not wasting space by sprawling across a bajillion acres so people can store their mouldy mattresses away. It’s a necessary evil, let’s keep it as resource-​efficient as possible.
Lots and lots of push-​carts and other moving facilitators. Yes, you can’t pull your car upto the storage unit unless you get one right on the ground floor in the back but really, this isn’t that big of a deal.
Music. Yes, soft music is piped in through overhead speakers to your belongings to make sure they stay happy and contented and the music selection is generally superior to a number of chain restaurants I’ve had to patronize while on road-​trips.
The prices tend to be slightly higher than your cheapest available options but are quite competitive when you consider all the positives I’ve outlined above.
SpaceMax: storage for your stuff today, high-​end living space for your dystopian tomorrow.

I had my things in storage at SpaceMax 14^th Street for 2.5yrs and when I went to retrieve my things they were as if I had just stored them away. The facility is clean, safe, reasonable and well maintained. The staff was always helpful over the phone or in person. I would recommend this storage facility if you are every in need of a place to store your things. Thanks again to Wilson the GM and his staff for all your help.

I swear, it almost made moving stuff into storage fun. Totally professional staff, lots of different size spaces, a free moving truck, tons of carts, easy loading dock, security cameras, a personal code to get in, bathrooms… and the place is squeaky clean. The candy bowl is a plus. The prices are competitive, especially when you go around town and look at what you get (or don’t get) at other places.

If you were a household item that needed to be stored, where would you want to be? A U-​Haul? Your friend’s moldy basement?
I want to be at the Emory location of SpaceMax Storage, a spanking new self-​storage place off Briarcliff Road, not far from CDC and Toco Hill. It’s new. It’s super clean. It’s air-​conditioned. It has a lot of dollies, wheeled carts and other moving equipment. (The staff gives you a can of Coke Zero when you move in. The candy jar in the office is full of Twix, Kisses and other candies that give you instant energy.) The best part about the place is its perks. I had to move all my stuff from a one bedroom apartment I was renting. The business let me borrow a 16-​foot moving truck for four hours for free, as part of renting a space from them. In addition, the first month rent was free. I am renting a 7.5-by-10 foot space for $ 100. It’s about the same price as other places in town. I checked before signing with SpaceMax. Unless the business really screws up, I’d say this place is the best in town.
