A 10x10 is the storage unit most households end up renting. It is big enough for the furniture from two bedrooms or a full family room, and small enough to stay affordable month after month. Anyone searching for storage units near me in Lago Vista or Jonestown has two 10x10 options at Alliance Storage, 18104 Sylvester Ford Rd in Lago Vista: climate-controlled and non-climate.
