1-877-366-8450Oshawa's storage market is shaped by its geography: a narrow east-west city with the lake to the south, Highway 401 cutting through the middle, and new residential growth pushing north toward Windfields and Kedron. Facilities cluster around three corridors — the Stevenson Road industrial strip, the Taunton Road corridor in the north end, and the older south-end neighbourhoods near downtown and Lakeview. Where you are in Oshawa dictates which facilities make sense — a renter in North Oshawa rarely benefits from driving south past 401 when storage is available close to home.
All prices are pulled live from each facility's booking system. When you reserve, you book through the facility's own portal at the rate shown — no middleman markup.
The 10×10 is the most booked size in Oshawa — it handles a one-bedroom apartment or a full garage without leaving unused space you're paying for. Students at Ontario Tech or Durham College typically need a 5×5; anyone moving out of a family home in Windfields or Pinecrest is more likely looking at a 10×15 or 10×20. Two students splitting a 5×10 is almost always cheaper per person than two separate 5×5s. See the storage unit size guide for a full breakdown.
West Oshawa and the Fox Street corridor — SmartStop Self Storage at 600 Fox St is the city's largest modern facility — climate control throughout, 24/7 keypad access, and individual unit alarms. It sits west of downtown near the 401 interchange, well-positioned for residents of the McLaughlin and Vanier neighbourhoods and commuters passing through that corridor. If you're in central or north Oshawa (Windfields, Kedron, Taunton), SmartStop is still the closest full-service climate-controlled option within Oshawa proper.
Eastdale and the Farewell Street corridor — StorageMart at 996 Farewell St serves east Oshawa near the Eastdale-Donevan neighbourhoods and the waterfront area. It handles a mix of residential renters from the south-east and commercial users from the Farewell industrial corridor. For Lakeview and Eastdale residents, this is the closest option without crossing town.
Nearby markets — Whitby and Ajax — Renters in north or east Oshawa are often closer to Whitby facilities than to either Oshawa location. SmartStop Whitby (Taunton Rd E and Victoria St E) and Access Storage Whitby (Dundas St E) are both a short drive and competitive on price. Ajax has StorageMart (Westney Rd S) and Access Storage (Harwood Ave N) for anyone near the western edge of Oshawa or commuting along the 401. Use the map to compare drive times — a cross-border trip often makes more sense than it looks on a city map.
Ontario's climate is the main argument for it. Oshawa sits on the north shore of Lake Ontario and gets full exposure to lake-effect humidity through spring and fall — the same conditions that create ice storms in winter also drive condensation cycles inside standard units. Temperature swings between January lows and July highs exceed 40°C, and that freeze-thaw range is what warps furniture, corrodes electronics, and degrades paper and fabric over a full storage cycle.
Climate control is worth paying for if you're storing anything you'd keep inside — furniture, mattresses, documents, instruments, clothing, electronics. Standard units are fine for tools, patio furniture, and anything already rated for outdoor conditions. SmartStop (Fox St) is fully climate-controlled. Use the filters to compare climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled prices side by side. Learn more about climate-controlled storage in Canada.
Ontario Tech University and Durham College drive a sharp April demand spike — students vacate campus housing at the end of the winter semester, and the smaller unit sizes (5×5, 5×10) fill first. This compresses with the general Durham Region spring moving season, which builds from March through June and peaks in July and August around lease turnover dates.
October through January is the quietest stretch. Facilities are more likely to run promotions and move-in specials to attract new rentals. If your timing is flexible, booking in fall is when you're most likely to find a first-month-free deal or reduced rates. If you're moving in spring or summer, lock in a unit early — SmartStop and StorageMart both tighten on smaller unit sizes well before the summer peak.
Oshawa's industrial and trades economy generates meaningful demand for drive-up storage — contractors, automotive businesses, and equipment operators who load and unload regularly and need ground-level access without navigating a building. StorageMart on Farewell St is the primary drive-up option in Oshawa proper; Beech Street Storage and Access Storage in nearby Whitby also offer drive-up access and show up in the Oshawa search results. The trade-off is that drive-up units are rarely climate-controlled — most renters choose one or the other depending on what they're storing and how often they need in. Use the filters to narrow by drive-up access and location.
Meaningfully. SmartStop on Fox St is a modern purpose-built facility and priced accordingly. StorageMart on Farewell St is competitive on base rates and closer to east Oshawa. Nearby Whitby facilities — SmartStop Whitby, Access Storage Whitby, and Beech Street Storage — often run cheaper and are worth comparing if you're in north or east Oshawa and not locked to city limits.
Use the map to see how prices shift across the area. A unit a few kilometres into Whitby or Ajax can save meaningfully per month — worth it if you visit infrequently and don't need the closest possible location.
Ontario Tech University sits in the north end of Oshawa; Durham College is nearby. Both drive April and August demand spikes as students move in and out of campus and off-campus housing. A 5×5 handles one student's room — boxes, a mini-fridge, seasonal gear — and is the most cost-effective size for a solo storage situation. Two students sharing a 5×10 is almost always cheaper per person than two separate units.
SmartStop on Fox St is the most accessible modern facility for Ontario Tech and Durham College students — climate-controlled, 24/7 access, and well-priced on smaller units. Book before mid-April if you're storing for the summer — 5×5 and 5×10 units fill first as the semester ends.
Oshawa's automotive culture and access to Lake Ontario drive two distinct seasonal storage categories. Vehicles and recreational equipment — motorcycles, ATVs, boats, trailers, jet skis — need a covered home for the months they're out of use. Most residential properties in Oshawa don't have the garage depth to handle both a daily driver and a recreational vehicle, and street or driveway storage isn't permitted through the winter months in most of the city.
For enclosed vehicle storage, check the vehicle storage filter — availability for covered and climate-controlled vehicle storage across the Oshawa/Whitby/Ajax area is limited and tends to book out before the first serious cold snap in October. Apple Self Storage in Bowmanville is worth checking if you need a larger enclosed space further east along the 401.
