Student Storage in Virginia
Old Dominion University's campus stretches across more than 250 acres in the heart of Norfolk, bordered by the Larchmont and Lambert's Point neighborhoods, and it enrolls nearly 28,500 students across undergraduate and graduate programs. Norfolk State University, a few miles to the south, adds thousands more to the student population that fills the city's off-campus neighborhoods, apartment corridors along Hampton Boulevard, and the surrounding stretches of Virginia Beach. When the spring semester ends in May, the problem these students share is roughly the same: they have more belongings than they can realistically move, and they need somewhere to put them for three months that isn't a parent's basement four states away.
The logistics of moving everything home and back simply don't work for students who came to Norfolk from out of state. Storage is the better answer — when the facility understands what a college student actually needs.
The standard solution — renting a cargo van, loading everything, driving it home, unloading it, and reversing the entire process in August — is expensive, time-consuming, and physically punishing. It also assumes that home is close enough to make the trip practical. For students who came to Norfolk from out of state, from international programs, or who are staying in the area for a summer internship or job, the logistics of moving everything home and back simply don't work. Storage is the better answer, and it's a meaningfully better one when the facility understands what a college student actually needs from the arrangement.

Do I need insurance for my storage unit?

Do you offer month-to-month leases?
Absolutely. We understand that life in a military hub like Hampton Roads can be unpredictable.
- No Long-Term Contracts: You are never locked into a year-long commitment.
- Military Friendly: We are proud to serve the men and women at Naval Station Norfolk and NAS Oceana. Our flexible leases make it easy to store your items during a sudden deployment or PCS move.
Is climate-controlled storage worth it in Virginia Beach and Norfolk?In most cases, yes — especially for anything made of wood, fabric, paper, or electronics. Hampton Roads is one of the more humid regions on the East Coast. Average summer humidity regularly exceeds 75%, and coastal proximity means salt air can work its way into standard units over time. Climate-controlled storage units at Allsafe maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level year-round, which prevents warping, mildew, rust, and moisture damage. If you're storing furniture, clothing, documents, instruments, artwork, or anything with sentimental value, a climate-controlled unit is money well spent. Ask our team which locations have climate-controlled availability when you call 757-707-8097.
Why should I choose climate-controlled storage in Virginia Beach?
The coastal Virginia climate brings high humidity and extreme temperature swings that can damage sensitive items. Our climate-controlled storage units maintain a consistent environment to protect:
- Wooden Furniture: Prevents warping and cracking.
- Electronics & Media: Guards against internal moisture and "frying" from heat.
- Clothing & Linens: Helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew common in the Hampton Roads area.
- Important Documents: Keeps paper from yellowing or becoming brittle.
What is "Drive-Up Access" and why is it better?
Most of our units in Norfolk and Virginia Beach feature drive-up access, meaning you can pull your moving truck or car directly up to your unit door.
- No Elevators: You won't have to lug heavy furniture through long hallways or wait for elevators.
- Fast Loading: It’s the most efficient way to run a business or complete a residential move.
What happens if I lose my key or forget my gate code?
Don't worry! If you lose your key, our team can help you coordinate a lock cut (fees may apply, and ID verification is required). If you forget your gate code, simply give us a call at 757-707-8097 during office hours or stop by the front desk with your photo ID, and we will get you back into your unit immediately.
What items are prohibited from being stored?
For the safety of our staff and other tenants, we do not allow the storage of:
- Flammable/Hazardous Materials: Gasoline, propane tanks, explosives, or chemicals.
- Perishables: Food items that could attract pests.
- Living Things: Animals or plants.
- Illegal Items: Any goods prohibited by law or stolen property.
