Minnesota Lakes Mini Storage

The owners are decent people I like being a customer there

This is one of the cleanest and best maintained storage facilities I've ever come across. It was constructed with a material system called, ICF or Insulated Concrete Forms. As it was described to me, it's basically a foam wall construction that is tied together with heavy rebar and than 8 inches of concrete is poured inside the foam forms to make a wall. The biggest benefit to this is in its insulting properties. During the coldest and darkest time during winters, the inside of the units feels about 60 degrees or better. During the hottest weeks of summer, it doesn't seem to get warmer than about 72 degrees. To me that provides a whole lot of peace of mind in knowing that my stuff I'm currently forced to store (due to space constraints at current home) will not be subjected to the extremes a Minnesota climate will throw at you.

The other major benefit was the actual strength of the buildings themselves. As the walls are 11 inches thick (3 inches foam and 8 inches poured concrete) you basically feel like you are in a bomb shelter. It's great knowing that if there was ever a severe storm and tornado that were to come through, the likelihood of the structure being destroyed is highly unlikely and improbable. You combine these safety concerns with a wonderful management group and consistent property management (lanes plowed during winter and swept consistently during not) and perfect location right off 35, and this will hopefully be the only place I ever store my things again. Prices are incredibly competitive and contracts very negotiable in terms of duration. This place gets my two thumbs up and my recommendation to anyone in NE metro area looking for storage ideas.

Went out of their way to help me get a storage unit on a Saturday. Very helpful and great super quick service! Very happy with all aspects!

The "green" solution to storage needs. I love this facility.

Wonderful facility! Finest storage facility I’ve ever seen!
