We Fixed Storage.

Because Someone Had To.

Tired of shady rate hikes, moldy furniture, and staff who ghost you? Yeah… us too. So we built the storage facility we’d actually want to use.

Stop scrolling through sketchy “storage near me” facilities. Get spotless, climate-controlled, humidity-monitored units with Bluetooth locks, whole building generator, real people at the facility and more:

Half off your first 3 months—no bait-and-switch here. While the other guys lure you in with too-good-to-be-true prices and jack them up after a month, we lock in your rate for 9 months. Plus, you get our free move-in truck, temp + humidity monitoring (the other guys don’t even know what that is), and a facility so nice you’ll wonder why you didn’t store with us sooner.

Jessica O'Conner

"From the moment I arrived, Distinct Storage exceeded every expectation. I was warmly welcomed by Heather (yes, even holding an umbrella in the rain!) and taken on a thorough tour of the facility. Every unit is climate controlled, the security is truly top-tier with 24/7 monitoring, and the technology throughout the building is outstanding. What impressed me most was how much thought has gone into every detail — it’s clear that client comfort and safety are their top priorities. When they say “world-class customer service,” they’re not exaggerating — they deliver on every word."

Spencer Myles

"After dealing with constant price hikes at my previous storage facility, I knew it was time for a change—and I’m so glad I found Distinct Storage. From the moment Heather opened the door (coffee in hand!), I felt genuinely welcomed. The facility is spotless, incredibly well-organized, and clearly built with the customer in mind. Every detail—from the climate control to the security and even the free move-in truck—made the switch effortless. Distinct Storage doesn’t just talk about great service—they deliver it. I only wish I made the move sooner."

Mario Martin

"I searched 'storage units near me' and am so thankful Distinct Storage showed up. From the moment I arrived, I was met with a spotless, welcoming facility and a team that went above and beyond. Patti, Heather, and Peter turned what could’ve been a stressful move into a seamless experience. They’ve thought of everything—9 month rate guarantee, humidity control, complimentary coffee and snacks, free Wi-Fi, a pristine bathroom, and even a free move-in truck. Their attention to detail and customer care sets a new standard in storage."

The stuff our competitors don’t want you to know about… but we brag about daily.

The others don’t want you clicking this. Wonder why?

"Better value" the say - right before the 40% rate hike hits after a month or two. Say it with me now ... BAIT AND SWITCH!

They claim climate control, but forgot humidity was a thing. Soggy boxes? Totally ok.

Because most storage places just… don’t.

Let us be honest - storage units are not meant to thrill anyone. Yet they should not turn into a horror show either. Heather Szymanski, who grew up in New Milford, reached that conclusion after she moved several times and had to rent one unit after another. She did one of those searches for 'storage units near me" which led her to rent form a local facility. What did it get her? Dim bulbs, hidden fees, gritty corridors and staff who barely answered questions left her asking, “Why does every place stink?”


Rather than accept the mess, she set out to create the opposite. She spent a couple of years reading visiting sites plus taking notes after each new disappointment. Her husband Paul, a Roxbury man who loves to tinker until a job is overdone, joined the plan. Together they opened Distinct Storage, a building planned for real people and real-life headaches.


They started with a blank lot and questioned every step - how the floors get washed, how you reach your door but also why free carts, free Wi-Fi, free snacks and a free loaner truck should not be standard. The target was simple - storage that feels easy, calm and - strange as it sounds - nice.


Paul and their eight-year-old son Jackson stand on the property almost every day. They sweep storage units, restock treats as well as check that doors glide open. Jackson holds the official title of Head of Gummy Bear Quality Control. When the family leaves, you might meet “Ole Red,” their dented pickup wrapped in Christmas bulbs and candy canes that blink through town like a parade on wheels.


If you are done with dark hallways and fine-print bills, visit the storage place we built. We live here, we care or we designed it for neighbors - because we are your neighbors. Find us at 46 Kent Road in New Milford, Connecticut, just past Big Y. We are near Candlewood Lake, Gaylordsville, Sherman, Kent and Washington.

Basically a five-star hotel… but for your stuff.

Stuff You Didn't Know You
Needed (But Totally Do)

Yes, really free. And yes, it comes with gas. Unicorns do exist.

A little ‘thanks for choosing us’ starter kit—snacks, swag, gift cards and goodies you didn’t know you needed until now. Bribery? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.

Holds more than your in-laws’ drama.

Shinier than your grandma’s silverware.

Because moving boxes is basically a workout, and you deserve snacks like the champion you are.

Because your couch deserves better than a soggy entrance.

Yes, you can stream cat videos while unpacking.

Because dead phones can’t take moving-day selfies.

So clean you could eat off the floor… but maybe just eat the free snacks instead.

New Milford Self Storage, Reinvented

Storage units should not leave you puzzled, anxious or doubting your decisions. We changed the rules. At Distinct Storage, we set up unit rental so it feels as simple as ordering food to go - it leaves you more content. You reserve on the web or walk in to greet us - either way, the steps stay quick, warm and free of hassle. The routine runs like this:

Touch your phone once and the garage door lifts. You do not need to type a code or press a keypad that refuses to respond.
Take a free soda and a bag of chips. You earned them because you are important!
Choose the dolly or cart you like best. We bought solid ones - Heather rolled twenty four models before she picked the fleet.
Wheel down the hall to your unit and open the door with your phone. You will not need a key plus you will not need to remember a code.
After you finish, tap the app to lock the door. Motion sensors switch on by themselves - your belongings stay guarded while you sit home on the couch, relaxing.

Stress-free storage? Yeah, you came to the right place.
