Life in the Love Field district, Oak Lawn, or Uptown is all about location. You’re in the heart of the action, minutes from downtown, and living a fast-paced life.

But that life comes with a trade-off: space.

You’re paying for a premium apartment in West Love or a beautiful home in Highland Park or Preston Hollow, but you have zero room for your actual stuff. Your closets are overflowing, your golf clubs are in the living room, and you’re tired of tripping over storage bins.

You don’t need a bigger apartment. You just need a bigger closet.

The Ultimate Hub for the Medical District

Look at our location: 6434 Maple Ave. We are just blocks from the UT Southwestern Medical Center. This isn’t just convenient; it’s a strategic advantage for the thousands of busy doctors, nurses, medical students, and pharmaceutical reps who work there.

Where do you keep your valuable research, spare scrubs, or expensive equipment? You need a spot that is secure, easily accessible between shifts, and 100% climate-controlled.

“I’m a resident at UT Southwestern and I live in a small apartment in Oak Lawn,” says ‘Alex P.’, a Dallas professional. “I needed a 100% safe, climate-controlled spot for my expensive textbooks and my off-season wardrobe. The MyPlace on Maple is my solution. It’s two minutes from the hospital, so I can swing by anytime. It’s just my secure spare room.”

This is the perfect Business Storage for medical and pharma reps in the Asian Trade District or the ideal Personal Storage for busy medical staff.

Beat the Heat: Why Climate Control Is Non-Negotiable

This is Dallas. The Texas heat is not a joke, and it will destroy your belongings. A standard garage or a non-climate unit can hit extreme temperatures, warping your wooden furniture, frying your electronics, and ruining family photos.

Every unit at our Maple Ave facility is Climate-Controlled Storage. This maintains a consistent temperature range year-round, protecting your temperature-sensitive items. From leather goods to antique furniture from your Bluffview home, it’s the only way to store in Texas.

The Perfect “Lock-and-Go” Solution for Travelers

Our facility is just down the street from Dallas Love Field Airport. This is a game-changer for frequent flyers, pilots, flight attendants, and SMU students.

  • Students: We are just 15 minutes from University Park. Don’t drag your dorm home for the summer. Store it in a small, affordable unit.
  • Travelers: Why leave your car in an expensive airport lot? Store it securely in our Car and Small Vehicle Storage and grab a 5-minute rideshare to the terminal.
  • Adventurers: We have space for your RV and Boat Storage, so you can get it out of your Irving Heights driveway and keep it ready for your next trip.
