Every one of our units sits indoors on the ground floor and stays climate controlled through Michigan winters and humid Saginaw Bay summers. Pull in off West Center Road, enter your gate code, and roll your load straight to your door. Your lock comes with the unit, so there is nothing to buy before you move in.
Storage of America sits at 1377 West Center Road in Essexville, tucked behind the medical campus at North Pine Road, about three miles east of downtown Bay City. Center Road is M-25, the Lake Huron Circle Tour, so you reach us by following M-25 from either direction: west from the Thumb, or through Bay City from the I-75 interchange.
Behind the gate are 656 units, all of them indoor, all of them on the ground floor, and all of them climate controlled. That last part matters more here than in most of the country. A unit that is heated in January and dry in July protects what people around Saginaw Bay actually store: boat cushions and canvas, hunting gear, business records, a household between houses.
Michigan’s unpredictable climate, with humid summers and frigid winters, can take a toll on your stored belongings. Cracking, warping, and fading are just a few of the risks your items face without proper care and maintenance.
That’s why our climate controlled storage solutions in Essexville are the smart choice for peace of mind. Conveniently located near Bay City State Park, our storage facility offers year-round reassurance for your most sensitive items. Climate controlled storage is especially perfect for:
Most self storage around Bay City sells climate control as the premium tier and puts everything else in an unheated outdoor row. We don’t have an unheated row. All 656 units are inside one secured building, on one level, heated and cooled year round, which means the 5×5 holding your Christmas decorations gets the same protection as the 10×30 holding a household.
Two things make move-in easier here. Your lock is included and already assigned to your unit, so you’re not buying hardware at a big box store on the way over. And you unload indoors: pull around to the rear loading dock and move your load down a level hallway instead of across a parking lot in February sleet.
We’re set up for the whole region, not just the block. Bay City and Essexville are three minutes apart, and Center Road puts us within an easy drive of Kawkawlin, Linwood, Munger, Auburn, Pinconning and Standish to the north and west, and Fairgrove, Vassar and Caro out toward the Thumb. Gate hours run 6AM to 9PM every day, seven days a week, so a weekend load or a stop after second shift both work. Reserve online in a few minutes and your gate code is waiting.
