Residential Storage Solutions: Making Space for What Matters in Central Texas Homes

When your home starts to feel a little too full, a residential storage unit can help you reclaim your space and peace of mind. At Amy’s Attic Self Storage, we provide secure, clean, and convenient storage solutions for homeowners and renters across Central Texas: Waco, Temple, Belton, Harker Heights, and surrounding communities. Whether you’re moving, decluttering, or just running out of room, we make it easy to store your belongings safely and access them whenever you need.

Why Homeowners and Renters Use Residential Storage

Life is full of transitions, and extra space can make all the difference. Here are some of the most common reasons Central Texans turn to Amy’s Attic for residential storage:

  • Moving or Relocating: Keep your furniture and boxes in storage between homes or during long-distance moves.

  • Decluttering: Create a cleaner, more organized home by moving rarely used items into a secure unit.

  • Home Renovations: Protect furniture and valuables from dust or damage while your home is under construction.

  • Downsizing or Life Transitions: Whether you’re retiring, combining households, or welcoming a new baby, storage helps smooth the transition.

  • Minimize Texas Property Tax: Texas has some of the highest property tax rates in the United States. By leveraging a storage unit near your home, you can stay in a smaller home and save money on your annual property tax bill. 

Our residential storage options are designed to fit your lifestyle — flexible, affordable, and easy to manage.

What You Can Store in a Residential Storage Unit

From furniture to family keepsakes, residential storage units can handle it all. Common items our customers store include:

  • Living room and bedroom furniture

  • Seasonal décor and holiday items

  • Sports and outdoor equipment

  • Baby gear and family heirlooms

  • Appliances and electronics

  • Off-season clothing and linens

With climate-controlled units available at several locations, even temperature-sensitive belongings like photos, artwork, and electronics stay protected year-round.

Tips for Organizing Your Storage Unit

Make the most of your storage space with these helpful tips:

  • Label every box clearly with its contents.

  • Use sturdy, stackable containers to maximize space.

  • Keep frequently used items near the front.

  • Create a simple map or inventory list for quick reference.

  • Add shelving or pallets to improve organization and airflow.

A little planning goes a long way toward making your storage unit easy to navigate.

Finding the Right Unit Size

Not sure what size you need? Here’s a quick guide:

  • 5×5 unit: Great for small boxes, seasonal décor, or a few pieces of furniture.

  • 10×10 unit: Fits the contents of a one-bedroom apartment.

  • 10×20 unit: Ideal for larger homes or multi-room storage needs.

Our team can help you choose the perfect size — and you can always upgrade or downsize later if your needs change.

Real Central Texas Stories

Many of our customers start with a short-term need and end up enjoying the long-term convenience of having extra space. A family in Temple stored their furniture during a home remodel and later used their unit to rotate seasonal decorations. A Waco couple downsized after retirement but kept their heirlooms safe and accessible in a climate-controlled unit. No matter your situation, Amy’s Attic is here to make storage simple.

My first impression of this facility was that it is clean, well maintained and well-lit. Ms Tanya was eager to assist and was kind and professional. A lot is changing in my life and it’s comforting to have peace of mind storing my treasured belongings at this location.
