Why Choose Us

Why Ely Residents Choose First Class Storage

Ely has grown quietly over the years, but between the newer homes off Dale Avenue and the farms that ring the edges of town, storage space is still hard to come by. Sheds get packed with lawn equipment, and a lot of garages end up housing a boat or camper instead of a car. First Class Storage gives Ely families and small business owners a nearby option that actually fits everything they own, with flexible rental terms and room to spare that a small-town garage or shed simply can't match.

Residents heading up Highway 151 toward Cedar Rapids find our facility easy to reach, whether they're storing seasonal gear from a weekend at Squaw Creek Park or clearing out a garage after moving into one of the newer developments near Ely Elementary. Here's what draws them in:
  • Climate controlled storage unit options that protect furniture and electronics from Iowa's humidity swings
  • 10x20 storage unit and 10x30 storage unit sizes for household overflow or small business inventory
  • 14x40 storage unit spaces built for boats, trailers, and larger equipment
  • RV storage and boat storage for weekend trips to the Cedar River or Coralville Lake
  • Contactless storage rental and online storage rental so you can skip the paperwork trip entirely
  • 24/7 monitored storage with 24 hour storage access for early-morning haulers and late-night unloaders
