Short answer
Rent a 10 x 10 for a one-bedroom apartment and a 10 x 15 for a two-bedroom home or anything with several large appliances. At SB Storage the difference is about ten dollars a month: $55.96 for a 10 x 10 and $66.14 for a 10 x 15.
The 10 x 10
100 square feet, about half of a one-car garage. One bedroom's furniture plus a living room, a couple of appliances and boxes.
The 10 x 15
150 square feet, about two-thirds of a one-car garage. The extra five feet of depth holds a second bedroom set or a washer, dryer and refrigerator together, and leaves room for a walkway so you can reach the back.
How to decide
- If you will need to get things out while they are stored, the walkway in a 10 x 15 is worth it.
- If you have more than two large appliances, take the 10 x 15.
- If it is a studio or one-bedroom and you will not be visiting often, a 10 x 10 packed tight will do.
