Okay: So You’re Moving in Together

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 19:38:37 GMT

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and a very beautiful time of year to some. A time to celebrate the love you’ve cultivated over time, with that special someone. You may have just gotten moved in together, or even are planning to in the future. Consolidating what you do and don’t need is always a hassle, but self storage is always an option for your items.

First, you need to have a discussion with your loved one. Do we really need both our living room sets? Where are we going to put our beds? What’s happening with our desks? All of these, and more, are valid questions to ask each other when moving in. Make sure if you both have items in your unit, that you add your better half as an alternate contact, so you will both have access to the storage unit.

Of course, there is no issue with having two separate units, too. In case any disputes happen, having two different units under each person’s name is a better option, security-wise.

Second, you’ll need to determine the size of the storage unit that you need. A 10x10 foot storage unit is about the size of half a standard-sized garage. However, there are smaller and larger units depending on your requirements! Please refer to our size guide to find the perfect size unit for your needs!

Third, once you’ve chosen the perfect storage unit, you can book online and select the facility closest to your living place! Lucky for you, we have the ability to rent directly from our site. Click here to get started. The booking process is quick and easy. All you need to do is select your facility, then select the size unit you decided on. You will enter your personal information as well as your payment due at the time of registration! Rent is due every first of the month, and autopay is available for that added peace of mind.

At this point, you will receive an email and text confirming your payment, giving you an assigned gate code, and notifying you with access hour and facility information. A lease agreement will be sent for you to sign digitally. A driver’s license will be required as part of the booking process. And don’t worry, we provide insurance at the low starting price of $12.00 a month! Please refer to our tenant protection section to learn more about our insurance! We also accept homeowners’ and renters’ insurance to cover your unit; all that we would need is a copy of the declarations page!

Finally , you’ve secured your unit! Go ahead, and head to the facility- don't forget to take your own lock to attach to your rental. You can get one at Walmart or any hardware store. We recommend using a cylinder or disc padlock to secure your unit. Enter your access code followed by the number key provided. Remove the facility lock (if there is one attached) and place it in the lock drop box by the exit gate. Be sure to secure your unit with your lock before leaving! The units that we currently have available are drive-up, sheltered from the elements, but not climate-controlled.

Consider contacting our friendly office staff if you have any questions about renting with us or our facilities! May the season of love be in your favor.

With love, Happy Valentine’s Day,

Starting the New Year Fresh: Decluttering and Clarity

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 18:29:51 GMT

Written By Kia L.

As we enter the new year, you may think to yourself “How do I begin on the right foot?” . This may look like setting a resolution to better yourself or breaking some bad habits- but one thing many people forget to factor in is their environment.

Look around, do you see furniture you don’t use or clothes that haven’t been worn in a while? Decluttering your surroundings can do wonders for your mental health. If you read on, you'll soon know how and why that is.

Consider this: clothes in your closet that you’ve only worn once are taking up space, instead of the clothing you actually wear. You don’t want to get rid of them, because what if you do need them? Storing unused clothes, or even furniture, can help improve the functionality of your home.

Each square foot has a purpose, and if it is not being utilized properly then it can definitely feel like a waste. A side table no longer in use, can be stored, until a decision is made on what to do with it. The bed frame you found at the thrift store can be placed into your unit until the time is right! Items of sentimental value can be protected from regular dust and damage by being placed into storage. An optimized flow of your home takes little inconveniences off of your plate and allows you to focus on the things that truly matter to you!

A cluttered space can be hectic and anxiety-inducing for some, causing more stress in our already busy lives. Downsizing is an excellent option when this is the case! With less noise visually, more peace can be achieved thus some mental clarity can come with being there. You deserve an environment where you can be stress free from the day to day struggles of life. The importance of a clean space is fundamental to starting on the right foot towards bettering life for you.

Once you’ve gotten the flow of your home to your liking and the clutter is gone, you can even focus on making improvements to the environment! Add seasonal decorations or rearrange your space to change the feeling of your home. The peace of mind achieved by downsizing and decluttering is invaluable to starting the year fresh.

Self Storage New Mexico wishes that you have a year filled with peace, clarity, and exciting experiences!

Treasure the objects that bring you joy.

Thank you for reading, Happy New Year!

A Season to Be Grateful

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 23:33:06 GMT

As the leaves turn golden and the air takes on that crisp, cozy feeling, it can only mean one thing: Thanksgiving is just around the corner!

It’s a time when we pause, reflect, and give thanks for the people, moments, and little joys that make life meaningful.

Here at Self Storage New Mexico , we want to start by expressing our heartfelt gratitude to you—our customers. Your trust and support are what allow us to do what we love every day, and for that, we are genuinely thankful.

But Thanksgiving isn’t just about one day or one meal, it’s a reminder to notice the everyday blessings that surround us. Laughter echoing through the kitchen, friends checking in just when we need it, the warmth of a home, or even the simple pleasure of a favorite dessert. These are the moments that fill our hearts with joy.

Here in New Mexico, we have a few local touches that make Thanksgiving extra special. Whether it’s a sprinkle of red or green chile on your mashed potatoes, a slice of green chile pumpkin pie, or the smell of homemade biscochitos in the oven, these unique flavors remind us of the small joys that make life memorable.

This season, take a moment to appreciate the temporary things that make life beautiful. A walk with loved ones, a shared joke, or the quiet moments of reflection. Gratitude doesn’t need a calendar date; it’s something we can carry with us every day.

So, as you gather around the table, enjoy the feast, and share stories, remember to savor the little moments. Give thanks for health, for happiness, and for the people who make life richer. And maybe, take a moment to appreciate the space around you, whether it’s your cozy living room, your backyard, or even that extra storage unit that keeps your life organized and stress-free.

From all of us at Self Storage New Mexico , we wish you a joyful, peaceful, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving.

Locally Owned and Proud: Why Supporting NM Businesses Matters

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 18:21:24 GMT

When you choose to support a local business, you’re doing more than making a purchase - you’re investing in your community .

Here in New Mexico, small and locally owned businesses are the heart of every town. From our biggest cities to the smallest villages, they’re the shops, restaurants, and service providers that know their customers by name, understand local needs, and give back to the neighborhoods they serve.

At Self Storage New Mexico , we’re proud to be locally owned and operated by New Mexico residents. Our team lives and works right here in the same communities as our customers - and that’s something we think makes a real difference.

Supporting Local Means Supporting Your Neighbors

When you rent with a local business, your money stays close to home. It helps create jobs, supports local contractors, and keeps our local economy strong. The people who run local businesses are your neighbors, friends, and fellow community members. They care about the same things you do, because they live here too.

Unlike large national chains, locally owned businesses make decisions based on what’s best for the people and places around them, not a corporate office across the country. For us, that means listening to our tenants, being flexible when possible, and providing the kind of personal service that only comes from knowing the community you serve.

New Mexico Roots, New Mexico Values

New Mexicans know the value of hard work, integrity, and connection. Whether it’s lending a hand to a neighbor, celebrating at a local festival, or cheering on a school team, community ties run deep here. We bring those same values to the way we do business.

Our facilities are designed to meet the needs of the people who live here - from families storing their extra belongings, to small businesses protecting their inventory, and RV owners who love exploring our beautiful state. We take pride in offering clean, secure, and convenient storage with a personal touch, for every need.

Small Choices, Big Impact

Every time you choose a local business - whether it’s a coffee shop, a mechanic, or a storage facility - you’re helping keep New Mexico unique. Local businesses bring character and care that can’t be replicated by big-box brands. They sponsor youth sports teams, contribute to local causes, and take part in community events because they’re part of the community, too.

So, thank you to our tenants and neighbors who continue to support locally owned businesses across the state. Your support keeps the spirit of New Mexico strong.

Proud to Serve Our Community

At Self Storage New Mexico , we’re honored to serve our friends and neighbors with safe, convenient storage options throughout the Land of Enchantment. Whether you need a place for your household items, business supplies, or seasonal vehicles, we’re here to help!

Fall in Love with New Mexico: Seasonal Activities and Weekend Getaways

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 14:57:53 GMT

There’s something special about fall in New Mexico. The mornings are crisp, the skies stretch out brighter than ever, and the aroma of roasting green chile drifts through the air.

At Self Storage New Mexico, we’re all about making space for the things that matter most - and sometimes that means taking a break from the daily routine to enjoy the season. Here are a few fall activities and weekend getaways to enjoy across New Mexico.

�� 1. Drive the Enchanted Circle

Few places capture fall quite like the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway. This 83-mile loop winds through Taos, Red River, and Eagle Nest, offering incredible views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains blanketed in fall colors. Every overlook is worth the stop - don’t forget your camera!

�� 2. Explore Cloudcroft and the Sacramento Mountains

If you’re in southern New Mexico, Cloudcroft is a must for a cozy mountain escape. The town’s small shops, trails, and fall festivals make it a great weekend trip. Hike through Lincoln National Forest, visit Bluff Springs Waterfall, and end your day with a slice of pie at a local café. Burro Avenue has all your needs and wants for a fun day trip.

�� 3. Catch the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

It’s one of the most iconic fall events in the world - and for good reason. The Balloon Fiesta fills the sky with hundreds of colorful balloons every October, drawing visitors from everywhere. Even if you’ve seen it before, it never gets old watching those dawn ascensions. (Pro tip: bring layers because mornings can be chilly!) This year’s Balloon Fiesta runs from October 4–12.

�� 4. Visit a Local Pumpkin Patch or Fall Festival

From apple picking in High Rolls to pumpkin patches near Las Cruces and Albuquerque, fall festivals are a fun way to spend a Saturday. Support local farmers, grab some roasted corn, and take home a pumpkin or two for your porch. The Mesilla Valley Maze (in Mesilla, NM) is fun for the whole family - complete with a corn maze. Floren Family Farms in Tularosa even hosts a U-Pick sunflower and zinnia event each fall. Depending on your area, you may have to spend a few days taking advantage of all these fun events.

�� 5. Extend Summer Adventures with an RV Getaway

Fall is one of the best times for RV camping in New Mexico. The crowds thin out, the weather cools down, and the sunsets are unbeatable. Check out Elephant Butte Lake or Caballo Lake for peaceful waterfront spots. And when it’s time to tuck your RV or boat away for the season, our facilities are here to keep them secure until your next adventure.

�� Make Room for What You Love

Whether your fall plans include road trips, home projects, or simply enjoying quiet weekends, it’s the perfect time to get organized and make space for new memories. At Self Storage New Mexico, we’re proud to help our neighbors across the state store their gear, vehicles, and keepsakes - safely and conveniently.

Here’s to a cozy, colorful, and adventure-filled fall in the Land of Enchantment.

Self-Storage for Small Businesses: How Local Entrepreneurs

Winter Storage: 5 Tips to Prepare Your Unit

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 19:39:01 GMT

Now that winter is upon us it’s a good time to prepare your storage items for the change in temperature. The following tips will help protect your belongings during the winter months so they are ready to use once spring arrives.

1. Clean Your Belongings

Living in New Mexico, we know things can get dusty! Giving your stored items a good cleaning will help to prevent mold, mildew, or corrosion. Sensitive items can also be covered with wool or cotton blankets to keep bugs and dust away.

2. Moisture Damage Prevention

Getting belongings and boxes off the floor will prevent them from collecting moisture in the winter. Store belongings on a pallet to allow for airflow under your stored items and prevent exposure to moisture.

3. Create a Barrier for Sensitive Items

Put sensitive items in the interior of your unit to prevent those items from more extreme temperature changes. Use non-sensitive items to create a barrier and protect those belongings that need some extra protection.

4. What Not to Store in the Winter

Electronics, items that contain any type of liquid, and battery operated belongings are best to store in a climate controlled environment during winter.

5. Prep Vehicles for Winter Storage

If you store a car or RV at Self Storage New Mexico it’s a good idea to prepare your vehicle for winter storage. Some helpful preparations include:

Service car with oil change and fluid replacement.
Disconnect and remove your battery to prevent fluid from freezing.
Seal off ports of entry to prevent dust, bugs, and pests from entering your vehicle.
Place the car on jack stands to maintain suspension longevity.

1. Determine Your Storage Needs

The first step in finding the right self storage unit is to determine your storage needs. Consider the items that you need to store and how often you'll need to access them.

Once you have determined your storage needs, it's time to choose the right size unit. Self storage facilities typically offer units in a range of sizes, from small 5x5 units to large 10x30 units.

When packing your items for self storage, it's important to take the time to pack them carefully. Use high-quality boxes and packing materials to protect your belongings, and label each box with a detailed description of its contents. To maximize space in your unit, consider using stackable containers and utilizing vertical space by stacking boxes on top of each other.

4. Utilize Wall Space

Don't forget about the wall space in your self storage unit. You can use hooks, shelves, and other storage accessories to maximize your storage space and keep your items organized. Consider storing items such as bicycles, golf clubs, and other sporting equipment on the walls to free up floor space.

When storing larger items, such as furniture or appliances, it's important to store them strategically to maximize space. Consider disassembling larger items, such as beds and desks, to reduce their footprint. You can also store them on their sides to save floor space.

This will help you to ensure that your space is used efficiently and that your items are easily accessible when you need them.

7. Use Covers and Protection

To protect your belongings from dust, dirt, and other potential damage, consider using covers and other protective measures.

Additionally, consider using pallets or cardboard to raise your items off the ground and protect them from moisture damage.

8. Keep an Inventory

Keeping an accurate inventory of the items you store in your self storage unit is important for a number of reasons. First, it will help you to keep track of what you have stored and where it is located. Second, it will make it easier to find items when you need them

The Psychology of Storage: Why Do We Keep Things?

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 18:07:46 GMT

At Self Storage New Mexico, we're not just experts in providing storage solutions; we're also interested in understanding the psychology behind why we keep things. Many of us accumulate possessions over time, and the reasons behind our attachment to these items can be intriguing. Let's delve into the psychology of storage and explore why we hold onto our belongings.

Emotional Attachments

One of the primary reasons we hold onto items is the emotional connection we have with them. Sentimental value plays a significant role in our attachment to possessions. Whether it's a childhood toy, a cherished gift, or a memento from a special event, these items carry memories and emotions that are hard to part with.

Fear of Regret

Another psychological factor that influences our storage habits is the fear of regret. We often worry that we might need something in the future, and getting rid of it would lead to regret. This fear of letting go can result in the accumulation of unnecessary items.

Identity and Self-Expression

Our possessions can be an extension of our identity and self-expression. The things we keep often reflect our interests, hobbies, and values. We hold onto items that resonate with who we are and how we want to be perceived by others.

Temporary Solutions

Sometimes, storage serves as a temporary solution. We store items that we don't currently have space for, but we plan to use or display them in the future. Self-storage, including mini storage options, provides a secure and accessible place for these items until we're ready to integrate them into our lives.

Climate-Controlled Storage for Precious Belongings

For those with valuable or delicate possessions, climate-controlled storage offers peace of mind. It's not just about physical protection; it's also about safeguarding the emotional value of these items. Keeping them in a stable environment prevents damage due to extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations.

Discovering the Right Balance

Understanding the psychology of storage can help us strike a balance between keeping what truly matters and decluttering our lives. Self-storage facilities like ours offer a practical solution for safely preserving items with sentimental or future value without overwhelming our living spaces.

Find the Right Storage Near You

If you're looking for convenient and secure storage near you, search no further. At Self Storage New Mexico, we offer a variety of storage options, including drive-up storage and mini storage units, to accommodate your specific needs. Our goal is to provide you with the space and peace of mind you need to maintain a balanced and clutter-free life.

In summary, the psychology of storage is a complex interplay of emotions, identity, and practicality. At Self Storage New Mexico, we respect the reasons behind your storage choices and provide the ideal space to help you keep what matters most. Contact us today or visit our website to explore how we can assist you in managing your possessions effectively and thoughtfully.
