902-442-9069Storage units in Halifax range from $60.00/month for a 5×5 unit to $265.00/month for a 10×20. The most popular 10×10 unit averages $175.00/month, with the lowest price at $135.00/month. Dartmouth offers the best value, while peninsula locations cost more for convenience.
A 5×5 holds a closet's worth, a 5×10 fits a studio apartment, and a 10×10 accommodates a one-bedroom apartment—that's the most popular size. A 10×15 fits two bedrooms, and a 10×20 holds a three-bedroom home. Choose the larger size if you're stuck between two options.
Yes, climate control is strongly recommended for Halifax's maritime humidity. Coastal humidity regularly exceeds 80% and damages wood, electronics, documents, instruments, and leather. Climate control costs 20-30% more but prevents mould and moisture damage in Halifax's damp climate.
Several Halifax facilities offer 24/7 access including Storage Inn locations, Metro Self Storage facilities, and Apple Storage locations. Most other facilities offer extended access (6am-10pm). Check access hours before booking if you need after-hours availability.
Yes, many Halifax storage facilities offer student specials including first 4 weeks free for Dalhousie, Saint Mary's, NSCC, and Mount Saint Vincent students. Book in March or early April before summer demand drives up prices. Some facilities allow shared units to split costs.
Yes. A 10×10 unit averages $175.00/month but starts as low as $135.00/month depending on location. Dartmouth offers the best value at 15-25% below peninsula pricing. That's potentially hundreds in annual savings by comparing all 17 facilities.
Dartmouth offers better value (15-25% cheaper) and more facility options. Peninsula avoids bridge crossings but costs more. If you'll access storage weekly or more, peninsula convenience might justify the premium. For monthly access, Dartmouth savings add up—just avoid rush hour bridge traffic.
No hazardous materials (gasoline, propane, chemicals), perishable food, plants, pets, illegal items, or firearms (varies by facility). Most facilities prohibit wet or smelly items. Violating these rules can result in immediate lease termination and forfeiture of belongings.

Halifax's maritime climate means high humidity year-round—regularly over 80% near the harbour. That humidity is harder on stored items than just cold or heat.
Wood furniture swells and warps. Electronics corrode. Documents and photos develop mould. Leather gets musty. Even cardboard boxes deteriorate faster in Halifax's damp air.
You need climate control for:
You don't need it for:
Climate control in Halifax typically adds 20-30% to your monthly rate. For a 10×10, that means paying around $200-220/month versus $135-175 for standard units.
Worth it? If you're storing more than 3 months in Halifax's humidity, yes. The salt air near the harbour makes climate control even more important for preventing corrosion and moisture damage.
Halifax's geography matters for storage. The harbour and bridges affect how "near me" actually translates to drive time.
Storage on the Halifax peninsula means no bridge crossings, but limited options and higher prices.
North End: Storage Inn Stanley Street and Prescott Street offer climate-controlled units starting around $75-88/month. Good for Dalhousie and Saint Mary's students. Metro Self Storage Clifton Street starts around $96/month.
Downtown/Brunswick Street: Apple Self Storage Brunswick offers climate control and 24/7 access starting around $94/month. Premium location, premium pricing, but maximum convenience if you're downtown without a vehicle.
South End: No storage facilities in this area due to land costs. Residents typically use North End or cross to Dartmouth.
Dartmouth offers Halifax's best value for storage units. More facilities, more competition, lower prices.
Apple Self Storage Dartmouth (Tacoma Drive) starts around $76/month. Metro Self Storage Thornhill Drive starts around $72/month. Access Storage Dartmouth South has promotional units starting at $22/month.
Bluebird on Wright Avenue offers climate control, vehicle storage, and boat/RV storage starting around $84/month.
Bridge consideration: Macdonald Bridge or MacKay Bridge can add 15-25 minutes during rush hour (7:30-9am, 4-6pm). Fine for monthly access, frustrating for weekly visits.
West side facilities balance accessibility with value. No bridge crossings for peninsula residents heading west.
Bay Self Storage in Timberlea offers climate control, drive-up access, vehicle storage, and boat/RV storage starting around $75/month. Good highway access via St. Margarets Bay Road.
Metro Self Storage in Sackville (Glendale Avenue) starts around $76/month with climate control and 24/7 access.
Metro Self Storage Bayers Lake offers climate control, drive-up access, and vehicle storage. Good highway access from Joseph Howe Drive and Magazine Hill.
Standard climate control in Halifax should manage both temperature AND humidity. Ask specifically about dehumidification systems, not just heating/cooling.
Facilities near the harbour (Downtown, North End waterfront) need stronger humidity management than inland locations (Bedford, Sackville).
If you're crossing bridges regularly, access hours matter more than distance. A Dartmouth facility 2km away can take longer to reach than a Bedford facility 8km away during rush hour.
Several Halifax facilities offer 24/7 access—Storage Inn Stanley Street, Metro locations, Apple Storage facilities. Useful for shift workers or anyone needing after-hours access.
Four universities create summer storage demand. Book storage in March or early April before end-of-semester rush.
Many facilities offer 4-week free promotions for students. Some allow shared units where roommates split costs on a 5×10 or 10×10.
Halifax's maritime location creates demand for boat storage. Several facilities offer covered or enclosed vehicle storage:
Salt air considerations: Indoor storage protects boats and vehicles from corrosive harbour air better than outdoor options.
Look for:
Downtown and North End facilities typically offer stronger security than suburban locations, but suburban facilities often have better parking and loading areas.
