Self Storage in Iowa City, IA

“I abso. Lutely love every bit of this storage unit. In this company, they have helped me about they are really good and I love that fat that is 24 hours and they are outside. Also, it's great business. I hope other people think about going here to get a storage unit, really nice people and professional.”

“Amazing storage location. Awesome 24 hour access. Units were clean and dry. Stored my stuff here for 3 years and never any issues. I will definitely look to this place for storage when I need it again.”

“I was struggling to find a unit for our move-out this summer. Right away, when I called, Dan was able to help and make something work for us. Weeks of searching, done in 5 minutes. Thanks again!”

“My son attends the University of Iowa and Blue Lagoon Storage was very convenient for him to keep his car stored there. Parking is limited at the University. This is was a very economical and convenient option. The owners were wonderful to work with - no issues whatsoever.”

“Accommodating ownership, family run business. The best in town. I’ve stored classic cars, boats and antique furniture out there over the years without an issue.”

“Iowa city satellite location on the south side of town is private and quiet. The employees were polite, willing, and fast to meet up and provide assistance for everything. Genuinely happy especially with their rate and prices.”

“First off, I HIGHLY recommend this place! First time renting a storage unit and had no idea how it worked. The staff AND the owner were extremely pleasant and helpful! Very clean property and has nice lighting. Also very reasonable pricing! Feel very comfortable storing my valuables here!”

“We had rented 2 U-Boxes for a gap between our lease ending and a new one starting, as well as a truck rental for pulling everything out of the boxes after. After coming in and having a mix-up over the phone which led us to not have access to our boxes the first day we needed them, Rachel (Manager?) Helped us set up access for the next day and even reimbursed us a bit on a new truck rental the day after.

Overall had a great experience and just had to leave a review!

“I never thought I’d be the kind of person writing an emotional review about a storage unit, but here we are. If you had told me a year ago that a storage facility would be the reason my 900,000-piece LEGO set survived intact, organized, and stress-free, I wouldn’t have believed you.

To give some context: I’m a lifelong LEGO collector and builder. Over the years, my collection grew from a few shelves to an entire room, then to multiple rooms. The centerpiece was a massive, custom LEGO build totaling around 900,000 pieces, broken into dozens of modular sections. When I had to move temporarily and renovate my house, panic set in. This wasn’t just plastic bricks—this was years of work, thousands of hours, and more money than I care to admit.

From the very first phone call, this storage unit place completely exceeded my expectations. I explained my situation, half-expecting confusion or indifference, but instead I was met with genuine interest. The staff didn’t rush me. They asked thoughtful questions about climate control, shelf space, box sizes, and even vibration concerns. One employee actually said, “So this is basically a museum exhibit, right?” That’s when I knew I was in the right place.

When I arrived on move-in day, they were ready. They helped me choose a unit that allowed for custom shelving, ensuring my LEGO modules could be stored without stacking weight on fragile builds. The facility was spotless—no dust, no moisture, no weird smells. Temperature and humidity were clearly monitored, which was huge for preventing warped pieces or brittle bricks.

What really impressed me was how accommodating they were. They allowed me extra time during move-in so I could carefully place each container. At one point, I was struggling to maneuver a large crate containing a fully assembled city block, and two staff members immediately stepped in to help—carefully, patiently, and without treating it like “just toys.” They respected how important this was to me.

Security was another major relief. Between the gated access, cameras, individual unit alarms, and well-lit hallways, I felt confident leaving something this valuable behind. I visited the unit regularly over several months, sometimes just to reorganize or check on things, and I always felt welcome. No pressure, no attitude—just helpful staff who remembered me as “the LEGO guy.”

Months later, when it was time to move everything back out, the LEGO sets were in perfect condition. No damage. No discoloration. No missing boxes. The care I took in packing mattered, of course—but the environment they provided made all the difference.

This storage unit place didn’t just store my belongings—they protected a passion. They turned what could have been an incredibly stressful experience into something smooth, professional, and even reassuring. If you have valuables, collectibles, or something deeply personal that needs a safe home for a while, I cannot recommend them enough.

If they can handle a 900,000-piece LEGO set, they can handle anything.”
