Residents Keep Coming Back to Mt. Pleasant Storage There’s a saying that you can tell a lot about a place by what its people say when no one’s asking them to. At Mt. Pleasant Storage, we’ve heard it all—from grateful students moving out of dorms to local families managing life’s transitions—and one thing’s clear: folks here appreciate a place that’s dependable. We’re not just a storage facility; we’re a small but steady part of people’s lives. Here are the five reasons Mt. Pleasant residents tell us they keep coming back, in their own words and experiences. 1. Clean Spaces That Show We Care If there’s one thing we don’t take for granted, it’s how much trust people place in us to protect their belongings. That’s why we treat every unit, hallway, and corner of our facility like it’s under a spotlight. It’s not just about appearances—it’s about keeping your items safe and sound. Ken Shadrake (Google Review) summed it up: “This is a great place, clean and well run.” John Maurice (Google Review): “The unit we rented was very clean... the facility was always clean and secure.” It’s not rocket science. A clean, well-maintained space signals respect—for the items you store and for the people trusting us to store them. 2. Perfect Fit for CMU Students Mt. Pleasant is a college town at heart, and Central Michigan University students are a big part of what makes this place tick. But let’s be honest: dorm rooms aren’t exactly known for their spaciousness. That’s where we come in. Ken called us “the most convenient and best value option for CMU students that have storage needs over breaks.” “You can’t beat this location for a CMU student.” Whether it’s a bike you don’t want to leave outside, a futon that won’t fit in Mom’s SUV, or a collection of books too heavy to lug home, we’ve got a spot for it. And for students juggling tight schedules and tighter budgets, we make it simple and affordable. 3. People You Can Actually Count On Here’s the ...

Downsizing Made Simple: The Mt. Pleasant Storage Way Downsizing is one of those things that sounds straightforward on paper—"Just get rid of the stuff you don’t need!"—but in practice, it’s a bit like trying to clean out your closet without getting distracted by old photos or clothes that might come back in style. It’s not just about physical space; it’s about emotion, memory, and figuring out what parts of your past fit into your future. If you’ve ever tried it, you know: downsizing isn’t about tossing junk. It’s about making space for what matters, both in your home and in your life. And that’s where Mt. Pleasant Storage comes in. We don’t just offer storage units; we provide breathing room—literally and figuratively—for you to handle the transition on your terms. Here’s how we make the process not just manageable, but maybe even a little inspiring. Step One: Take It Slow, and Give Yourself Grace You don’t need to go full Marie Kondo overnight. Downsizing works best when you take it one step at a time. Start with something simple—like your linen closet or the drawer stuffed with cords for gadgets you no longer own. Build momentum from there. And here’s the trick: as you sort through everything, don’t put pressure on yourself to decide the fate of every single item right away. That’s what storage is for. Keep: The stuff you can’t live without. Donate/Sell: The things you don’t use but someone else could. Store: The items you’re not sure about yet. Maybe it’s sentimental, maybe it’s seasonal, or maybe you just need more time to decide. With a storage unit as your safety net, you can press pause on the overwhelming decisions and tackle downsizing at a pace that works for you. The "Maybe" Pile Strategy Here’s the truth: there’s always a pile of stuff that lands in the "I can’t let this go…yet" category. It’s the photo albums, the kids’ artwork, the antique furniture from your grandparents that doesn’t quite fit in your ...
