The Short North’s Best Storage Option

October 1, 2018 by

The problem with the Short North…

If you live in the Short North, Italian Village, or Victorian Village, then we offer you our congratulations. You’re living in Columbus’s most lively area: culture, shops, restaurants, and a lot of people fill its streets. The benefits to living in the Short North seem almost endless, but, like anything, the Short North has its drawbacks. To name two, the parking can be a headache and it’s crowded as—well, it’s crowded.

If you’re living in a Short North apartment or rental, then you know how hard it can be sometimes to find extra space for all the extra stuff that you treasure. From your baseball card collection to your grandmother’s dining room table (and everything in between), things need space. What happens when your loft just can’t hold your extra belongings? Do you donate them? Throw them away? Push them off into the corner?

Even the smallest of our storage options offer plenty of space for your extra items.

The usual storage war

Having a ton of extra stuff is such a headache. After you accumulate and account for all of it, there’s the hassle of finding a place to put it. Often times, it ends up being one of the huge commercial storage companies around town. We don’t want to say anything bad about these guys, but we will point out some obvious negatives.

Complex contracts

We have to admit, seeing an ad for “$1 Storage” is pretty tantalizing. If only it were true! We’ve grown so sick of overly complex contracts over the years. Way too often, these “deals” are packed with hidden fees, cost spikes, and hard-to-escape contracts. That $1 rent was just a mask for downright crazy hidden fees.

But that’s not the only thing…

Finding an apartment doesn't have to cause a headache. Our dedicated leasing team makes sure that you find your dream rental. Located in Columbus, Ohio, Lykens Companies serves Columbus, Ohio's urban core with an eye toward historical preservation and restoration. We are deeply involved in the Short North, Victorian Village, Italian Village, Olde Towne East, and Weiland Park communities. We are a landlord, property management, and property development company. We create the best Short North apartments and rentals.
Storage contracts don’t need to be a word-search. We make renting storage streamline and transparent.

“You’re located where again?”

After borrowing your friend’s truck or renting out a U-Haul, you drive around for an hour trying to find where  your storage actually is. We can assure you that it’s off some side street, maybe next to train tracks, and is anywhere but a centralized, convenient location.

Moreover, you find yourself waiting on gates, scanners, and locks just to get to your stuff. Can’t it be more easier than this? What if going to your storage unit meant driving down the block? What if you didn’t need to make a whole day out of getting to your own stuff?

Lykens is making storage simple

With 20 years (and counting) of experience, we believe that Lykens Companies is just getting started on its mission to offer Columbus hundreds of premier apartments, rentals, and renovations. Each day, we are driving toward constantly expanding and improving our business and bettering Columbus, the city we love. For our renters, that means that they are connected to a proven business that is always striving to be the best. Our success isn’t an accident. We are constantly striving to improve our quality, both in the buildings that we renovate, reimagine, and rent out; moreover, we are striving to improve in the way that our business operates. For you, that means the best units and the best service in the best locations.

As we invest our time, money, and energy into the Short North, Victorian Village, Italian Village, and other parts of Columbus’s urban core, it’s nothing short of amazing to step back and see how much we’re able to impact our city, whether that looks like renovating apartments, houses, or even factories like the Wonder Bread Lofts and the forthcoming Budd Dairy project: a full scale reimagining of an old dairy factory into a Cameron Mitchell food hall and state-of-the-art coworking space.

If you’re looking to rent in Columbus, Ohio’s urban core, you’ve come to the right place. We can’t wait for you to enjoy using our company’s awesome storage options, but if you feel that these don’t fit your lifestyle or need, we know we have something else for you. Why not take a minute to see our other available rentals? Whether you’re looking for an apartment in the Short North, a rental in Victorian Village, a studio in Italian Village, or a loft in Wonder Bread, our Available Rentals page will feature all that (and more). We’re constantly adding our newest properties and highlighting that month’s leasing specials. Bookmark it and check often!

Now, we’re bringing the best storage to the Short North, too.

Straight-forward contracts

Our incredible leasing team goes out of its way to make sure that each of our tenants understands what they’re signing. For us, it’s not about pawning off the most expensive storage units to people—it’s about finding what’s best for our customers.

We aren’t going to talk you into the biggest storage unit. We’re going to find the best storage unit for your needs.

Don’t expect gimmicky sales tactics from us. Lykens Companies is never going to promise you “Free Storage For Three Months,” but we will guarantee a quality product with transparent pricing. There’s no membership fee. There’s nothing hidden. It’s as simple as reviewing and signing our lease and paying the advertised monthly cost. If that sounds really easy, it’s because it is. When did renting a storage unit become so complicated?

A great space

Lykens Companies is making it easy to store. Our storage facility on East 5th Avenue allows its users the ability to safely store their extra items close to home—right in the Italian Village. With a variety of sizes, we’re confident that you can find the right opening.

Our facility features interior storage with individual access to units. These safe and secure units boast easy access and privacy. Moreover, renters can be confident that their storage items will remain dry and in a good temperature year-round—the entire facility is regulated with a modern and reliable HVAC system.

If you’re a living in a Short North apartment, rental, or even own a home and just need some extra space, why wouldn’t you want a storage option that’s close by? Lykens Companies is currently leasing 3 sizes of storage units, ranging from just $75.00 per month to $175.00 per month.

Claim your storage before it’s gone!

These Italian Village storage units are leasing now. In other words, you’ll have to act fast if you want to be able to store in the heart of the Short North. If you’re interested in leasing, or just want to learn more about our offerings and the leasing process, check out our available rental page for 227 East 5th Avenue or email info@lykenscompanies.com. These will not last long.


We do more than store. See every availability!

Whether you’re looking for an apartment in the Short North, a rental in Victorian Village, a studio in Italian Village, or a loft in Wonder Bread, our Available Rentals page will feature all that (and more). We’re constantly adding our newest properties and highlighting that month’s leasing specials. Bookmark it and check often! What if you took two minutes to browse it right now?
