Naturally temperate basements protect décor, documents, and overflow—cool in summer, cozy in winter.

Frequently asked questions
How do I rent a space on Neighbor?
Start by searching your area. You can filter based on a variety of factors including size, price, and indoor or outdoor options.
If you'd like help finding the right storage unit or parking space, please give us a call at (855) 709-6497.
How do I know what storage size I need?
Start with what you're storing—just boxes? A bedroom set? Your whole apartment?
A 5×5 is like a walk-in closet: great for stacked boxes, seasonal gear, or a few small furniture items. A 10×10 is more like a small bedroom and fits the contents of a one- or two-bedroom apartment—couches, mattresses, and plenty of boxes. Larger spaces (like a garage or 10×20) can handle full homes or vehicles.
Still unsure? You can always message the host or size up for extra wiggle room.
What size do I need for a full apartment or house?
If you're storing everything from a two- or three-bedroom home, aim for a space around 10x20—about the size of a one-car garage.
It fits bedroom sets, appliances, couches, and dozens of boxes with room to spare.
What if I book the wrong size or need to switch later?
No big deal. Neighbor rentals are month-to-month, so you can cancel or switch to a different space anytime—no contracts, no hassle.
You'll get a full refund if you cancel within 24 hours of approval, and it's easy to upgrade to a bigger or smaller space if your needs change.
Life happens—we keep it flexible.
What kinds of spaces can I rent on Neighbor?
Short answer? Pretty much anything. Neighbor connects you with real people who have extra space—think storage units, driveways, parking garages, spare rooms, empty lots, and more.
Whether you're storing boxes, furniture, or a boat, there's a trusted, verified host and local businesses with the perfect spot for your stuff.
