If you live in a small NYC apartment, you may live with a lot of clutter that does not fit into your closets. Lot 48 can refer you to easily accessible storage units that provide walk-in closet space close to your apartment.
As an apartment dweller in New York City, especially in Manhattan and Brooklyn, you may live in a small apartment, measuring between 400 and 700 square feet.
That is barely sufficient space for living and working remotely, not to mention storing all of the possessions you would like to keep in your home.
Lot 48 offers a solution to everyday storage problems in your small NYC apartment. For more information, go to https://lot-48.com/local-storage/.
Maybe you already scaled down your possessions somewhat. For example, maybe you dress more simply now in neutral colors to avoid storing bulky clothes and linens. You may not have enough closet space for big, bulky items.
But even with restraint, storage space may be a dilemma for you.
You probably need luggage. If you are like so many other New Yorkers, you may use a bicycle or another motorized transportation device. Seasonal weather extremes require heavy coats and boots. When NYC becomes cold and snowy, you need big bulky items. Like suburban and rural home dwellers, you may enjoy sports requiring equipment, such as golf, tennis, and skiing. In warm weather, you may go to NYC beaches where you like to take umbrellas, beach tents, boogie boards, and coolers, among other things. But it is difficult or impossible to keep these items in your apartment year-round.
During the pandemic shutdown of 2020, most New York apartment dwellers (and that may mean you) began cooking more, often using air fryers and other countertop appliances. The kitchen in your small apartment may be a typical gallery or kitchenette size, often no more than 70 square feet. That is only a little larger than a small bathroom. In such a small kitchen, the counter space is insufficient to permanently store small cooking appliances you could use to make easy meals.
Like most New Yorkers, you may live with one or more pets. Dogs and cats take up space, too, along with their beds, food and water bowls, and toys. Pets and their paraphernalia leave even less room for you and your roommates or family members.
This urban storage dilemma has given rise to a big self-storage industry in New York City. However, most storage facilities are designed for possessions to be stored without easy, frequent access. Few of these facilities are convenient enough to allow for you to pick up the extra warm winter coat and fur-lined boots needed for a heavy snowstorm. Not many of these storage facilities lend themselves to stopping by for beach or golf equipment needed for a weekend day trip.
Simply speaking, you may need convenient storage extensions to your apartment. You may need storage closets you can easily access to retrieve items you use occasionally for special occasions and to rotate seasonal items between your apartment and a nearby neighborhood storage closet.
