Storage Amenities at Our Wauwatosa Facility

We designed this facility from the ground up with premium features that set it apart from older storage options in the Milwaukee metro. This is a newer, purpose-built facility with technology and conveniences you won't find at most competitors.

Climate-Controlled Units

Wisconsin winters are serious. Temperatures regularly drop well below zero, and the wind chill off Lake Michigan makes it feel even worse. Then summer shows up with humidity and temperatures in the upper 80s and 90s. That seasonal swing is punishing for anything stored in an unprotected space.

Our climate-controlled units maintain a steady temperature range throughout the year. Wood furniture won't crack or warp. Electronics stay dry. Leather won't split. Photographs, documents, and artwork remain in the condition you left them. If you'd keep it in your living room, keep it in a climate-controlled unit.

This matters even more in a facility this close to the lake effect zone. Milwaukee-area humidity can spike fast, and condensation inside a standard unit can cause mold growth in a matter of weeks during the summer months.

Smart Security and Enhanced Security Systems

As a brand-new facility, our security infrastructure is built on current technology. Smart security systems monitor the property continuously, complemented by bright LED lighting, gated access, and individual unit locks. The enhanced security package gives you confidence that your belongings are well protected at all times.

Drive-Through Access

Our facility features drive-through access, allowing you to pull your vehicle directly through the building to load and unload. This is a step beyond standard drive-up access, keeping you and your belongings protected from the elements while you work. Rain, snow, or wind, it doesn't matter. You stay covered.

Ground-Floor Units

All ground-floor units provide direct, convenient access without stairs, elevators, or long hallway walks. The distance from your vehicle to your unit door is measured in steps.

Indoor Parking and Covered Parking

For customers who need vehicle or trailer storage, our facility offers both indoor parking and covered parking options. These protect your vehicle from Wisconsin's harsh weather, road salt exposure, and UV damage year-round.

Gate Access Hours

Gate access is available Monday through Sunday, 6 AM to 9 PM.

Storage Unit Sizes and Pricing in Wauwatosa

We carry a full range of storage unit sizes, from compact spaces for a few boxes to large units that fit the contents of a multi-bedroom home. Units start at $65/mo.

JustSelfStorage Wauwatosa offers competitive pricing for the Milwaukee metro market, with premium features included at every price point. Right now, we're running a $1 first month promotion on select units. Check live pricing and availability

Is this facility in Wauwatosa or Milwaukee?

Our facility is physically located in Wauwatosa, WI, right on the border with Milwaukee. Our mailing address uses the Milwaukee, WI 53208 ZIP code, which can cause some confusion, but we are in Tosa. We're equally convenient for both Wauwatosa and Milwaukee west side residents.

Why should I choose a new storage facility?

Because everything is new. Our building, smart security systems, climate-control equipment, and surfaces are all brand new and built to current standards. There's no worn-out infrastructure, no aging HVAC struggling to keep up, and no deferred maintenance. You're getting the cleanest, most modern storage experience available in the Wauwatosa and Milwaukee area, with features like drive-through access, indoor parking, and covered parking that older facilities simply don't offer.

What are the gate access hours?

Gate access is available Monday through Sunday, 6 AM to 9 PM.

Is climate-controlled storage important in Wisconsin?

Absolutely. Wisconsin's temperature extremes run from well below zero in winter to hot, humid summers in the 90s. That range causes condensation, mold growth, wood damage, and electronic corrosion in unprotected storage. Climate-controlled units keep your belongings in a stable environment year-round. Read more: Climate-Controlled vs. Regular Storage.

Our Wauwatosa location includes smart security systems, enhanced security monitoring, drive-through access, ground-floor units, climate-controlled storage, indoor parking, and covered parking. As a newer facility, everything is built to current standards with modern materials and technology.

No. You can reserve online with no deposit. Just choose your unit, set your move-in date, and lock in the $1 first month rate. You can also call (855) 587-5878 to reserve by phone.

How do I know my belongings will be safe at a new facility?

JustSelfStorage operates storage facilities across the Midwest with thousands of satisfied customers and consistent five-star service. We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Smart security, gated access, individual unit locks, modern lighting, and a clean, well-maintained property are standard here.

What's the best way to pack for long-term storage?

Use sturdy, uniform-sized boxes. Place heavy items on the bottom and lighter ones on top. Label every box on at least two sides. Leave a walkway down the center of your unit so you can reach items in the back. And if you're storing anything moisture-sensitive, choose a climate-controlled unit. Full guide: How to Pack a Storage Unit Like a Pro.

Are you close to the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center?

Very close. The Froedtert and Children's Hospital campus is just across the Wauwatosa-Milwaukee border, making our facility one of the most convenient storage options for medical center employees, visiting families, and anyone in that area.

Why Wauwatosa is Choosing JustSelfStorage: Best Self Storage Facility in Wauwatosa, WI

Wauwatosa has never had a dedicated, full-service storage facility built specifically for this community. Until now, Tosa residents had to head into Milwaukee, drive out to Brookfield, or settle for facilities that weren't designed with their needs in mind.

JustSelfStorage Wauwatosa changes that. Here's what we bring to the table:

• Brand-new, premium facility. Modern construction, smart security, drive-through access, indoor and covered parking, and zero deferred maintenance. Everything works because everything is new.

• Honest pricing. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch after the promotional period.
• Climate-controlled storage. Protect your belongings from Wisconsin's temperature extremes.

• Proven operator. JustSelfStorage runs top-rated facilities across the Midwest. We bring that same standard to Tosa.
• Month-to-month flexibility. No long-term contracts. Store for a month or a year. Your call.

We're building our reputation in Wauwatosa one customer at a time. Our early reviews are all five stars, and we intend to keep it that way.

Wauwatosa Self Storage: A Community That Deserves Better Storage

Wauwatosa is one of Milwaukee's most desirable communities. Tosa Village is packed with locally owned restaurants, shops, and a walkable downtown that feels more like a small town than a suburb. Washington Highlands has beautiful homes and tree-lined streets. The Hart Park area offers green space along the Menomonee River with trails, playgrounds, and family events throughout the year.

But when Tosa residents needed storage, they were stuck driving out of their own community to find it. Every competitor's "Wauwatosa" search result actually pointed to a facility in Milwaukee, West Allis, or Brookfield.

JustSelfStorage is the first to put a real, dedicated storage facility where Wauwatosa residents actually live and work. We're local. We're here. And we're not going anywhere.

Whether you're a family in Washington Highlands clearing out a spare room, a young professional in East Tosa between apartments, a Froedtert employee who needs a place for seasonal gear, or a small business near the Milwaukee County Research Park that needs inventory overflow, we have the right unit at the right price.
