5x5 Storage Units in Clarkston, MI
Our smallest unit. Closet-sized 5x5 storage for boxes, seasonal gear, documents, or business overflow. Climate-controlled units on Dixie Hwy, five minutes off I-75. Month to month, with move in specials on select units.
What Fits in a 5x5 Storage Unit?
A 5x5 is 25 square feet with roughly 200 cubic feet of storage. It's the size most renters pick when they need to declutter a closet, store seasonal items, or park a small business's records somewhere secure.
Most renters use a 5x5 to hold:
- 10 to 15 medium boxes
- A small dresser, desk, or bookshelf
- Suitcases, holiday decor, and sports gear
- A bike with some gear alongside
- Business records, files, and small office equipment
- College break storage between semesters
Easy way to picture it: a standard hallway closet.
Climate-Controlled or Drive-Up?
We offer 5x5 units in both configurations. For most 5x5 renters, climate control is worth the small premium because most of what you'd put in a 5x5 is the kind of stuff Michigan humidity and temperature swings ruin.
Pick climate-controlled if you're storing:
- Documents, photos, books, files
- Electronics, seasonal lamps, kitchen gadgets
- Clothing, bedding, or textiles
- Small furniture you want to reuse
- Holiday decor and sentimental items
Pick drive-up if you're storing:
- Plastic-bin items that don't care about temperature
- Tools, sports gear, bike
- Quick-access items you grab often

Common Questions About 5x5 Storage
What fits in a 5x5?
Think of it as a hallway closet. A 5x5 fits 10 to 15 boxes, a small dresser or desk, seasonal items, sports gear, or business records. It won't fit a bedroom set or major appliances.
Is a 5x5 big enough for a dorm?
For a single student's between-semester storage, usually yes. For a full dorm load with furniture and a mini-fridge, step up to a 5x10.
What's the difference between a 5x5 and a 5x10?
A 5x10 is twice the square footage of a 5x5. A 5x5 handles closet-size storage; a 5x10 handles a studio apartment or dorm load.
Should I get climate-controlled at this size?
For most 5x5 renters, yes. The items that fit in a 5x5 (boxes, documents, small electronics, clothing) are the items most affected by Michigan humidity. The cost difference is usually small.
Can I store business records in a 5x5?
Yes. A 5x5 is a popular size for small businesses and professionals who need secure, climate-controlled record storage with 24/7 gate access.
Do I need to bring my own lock?
Please bring your own lock. We allow one lock per unit. We recommend a high-quality disc lock rather than a standard padlock for better security.
How long can I rent a 5x5?
Month-to-month with no long-term contract. Stay one month, stay for years. Give us 7 days notice when you're ready to move out.
