“We have been storing our entire home contents since January. Management made the sign up process seamless with no drama or stress. Very easy!!! First the cost is very affordable (we have 3 large units). Access is easy, location even better, their bill payment system is accurate, timely and without issue. Couldn’t ask for a better storage arrangement.”
— Helena N.

— Teri C.

Self Storage Units in Athens, TX on Highway 19

The Storage Place on TX-19 is a locally owned self storage facility a few minutes north of downtown Athens. Every storage unit here is drive-up, and there is covered parking for boats and vehicles, with Cedar Creek Lake and Lake Palestine both a short drive away. It is also a U-Haul location, so you can rent the truck and the unit in one stop.

Rent it whichever way suits you. Talk to a real person on the property, or find your unit and rent it online in a few minutes without making a single phone call.

What Size Storage Unit Do You Need?

Most people guess one size too small. Here is what actually fits in each size on TX-19, including an 8×12 for anyone caught between a 5×10 and a 10×10. Live availability and pricing are in the tool at the top of this page.

5×10

About a walk-in closet

A studio or dorm room: a mattress, a dresser, a few chairs and around twenty boxes. Also good for seasonal decorations, records, and hunting or fishing gear.

8×12

About a small bedroom

The in-between size. A one-bedroom apartment if you pack it tight, or a 5×10’s worth of things with room to walk around them.

10×10

Half a single-car garage

A one or two-bedroom apartment: living room set, bedroom set, appliances and boxes. The size most people start with.

10×15

About a large bedroom

Most of a two or three-bedroom house, appliances included. Moving a house and torn between a 10×10 and a 10×15? Take the 10×15.

10×20

A standard one-car garage

A three or four-bedroom house, or a household plus a car. The usual size for a full move between homes.

10×25

A long single garage

A full house with room left over for a riding mower, a motorcycle or the yard equipment.

10×30

A deep garage

A large home plus everything in the garage, a workshop, or a contractor’s trailer and materials behind one door.

Not Sure Which One?

Come by and we will walk you through two or three. Ten minutes on the property beats moving everything twice.

Drive-Up Storage Units in Athens

Every storage unit at our TX-19 property is ground level with a roll-up door. No elevators, no hallways, no carts. Back up to the door, unload, and you are done.

That matters most on the days that count: moving in, moving out, and every time you need to grab one thing in a hurry.

Units run from 5×10 up to 10×30 and larger, so it works whether you are storing a few boxes or a whole house.

Covered Boat and Vehicle Parking in Athens

We have covered parking spaces on the property, each about 10 by 20 feet. That fits a car, a small boat on its trailer, a jet ski or a utility trailer, and keeps it out of the direct Texas sun. Clearance runs from about 8.5 feet at the front of each space to 9.5 feet at the back, so measure anything tall, like a boat with a tower or a lifted truck, before you plan around one.

For longer RVs and trailers there are a few uncovered 12 by 30 spaces, though those tend to stay full. Every space sits on the same gated, lit and monitored property as the storage units, month to month like everything else.

Large Storage Units for Big Moves and Businesses

Our 10×25 and 10×30 units handle the jobs smaller units cannot: a whole house plus the garage, or a working base for a business.

  • Contractors and trades — tools, materials and equipment behind one door
  • Small businesses — inventory and supplies without a commercial lease
  • Big moves — a full house in one unit instead of two

Month to month, no commercial lease, no landlord. Availability on the larger units moves, so it is worth asking.

Storage in Athens, TX: Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the size and what is available. Live pricing for every unit at our TX-19 location is in the availability tool at the top of this page — the real number, not an estimate. We do not publish a headline starting price on purpose: rates move, and we would rather you saw the actual figure for the actual unit.

Your rate is locked for 12 months from the date you sign. The number on your agreement is the number you pay for a year, not a teaser rate that jumps once you have unloaded.

As a rough rule: a 5×10 holds a studio, an 8×12 or 10×10 holds a one-bedroom apartment, a 10×15 holds most of a house, and a 10×20 holds a house plus a car. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — the price gap is usually small and moving twice is not.

Yes. Every storage unit on the property is ground level with a roll-up door you can pull a vehicle or trailer right up to. No elevators, no hallways, no carts.

Not at this location. Every unit on TX-19 is a standard drive-up unit. If you are storing electronics, photographs, documents or instruments, that is worth knowing before you rent — and we would rather tell you now than have you find out in August. If you need climate control, our Athens South location is fully climate-controlled.

Yes. Our covered spaces are about 10 by 20 feet, which fits a car, a small boat on its trailer, a jet ski or a utility trailer. Clearance runs from about 8.5 feet at the front to 9.5 feet at the back. For longer RVs and trailers we have a few uncovered 12 by 30 spaces, though those tend to stay full, so check availability before you plan around one.

The gate is open 6am to 10pm every day. If you need to get in outside those hours, 24-hour access is available for an added fee — ask us about adding it to your unit. The office is staffed 8am to 6pm, seven days a week.

Yes. Pick your unit in the tool at the top of this page and complete the whole rental online in a few minutes. If you would rather talk to someone or see a unit first, come by the office.

Yes. We offer a military discount, along with student and other discounts. Ask about it when you rent and we will apply the one you qualify for.

No advance notice is required. Let us know when you move out and send photos of the empty, clean unit. There are no move-out fees unless the unit is left damaged or full of trash.

Yes. The Storage Place is a locally owned, family-run company, not a national chain. There are real people on the property seven days a week, and the people setting the rates own the business — so when something needs a decision, it gets made here.
