The Greenspoint and Aldine Guide: Get Your Garage Back and Your Boat Ready

Living in North Houston, whether you are in Remington Ranch, Aldine, or Greater Greenspoint, offers some great advantages. You have easy access to everything. You can hop on the North Sam Houston Parkway (Beltway 8) or the North Freeway (I-45) and be anywhere in minutes.

But there is one major downside: space.

If you live in a newer community like Remington Ranch, you know the struggle. The driveways are short, the garages are tight, and the HOA is always watching. That dream boat you bought for weekends on Lake Conroe or that RV for family trips usually ends up causing a headache. You can’t park it on the street, and it won’t fit in the driveway.

So, where does it go? This is a common problem in all our Texas locations.

Your Launchpad for Weekend Adventures

At MyPlace Self Storage on Northborough Drive, we have solved the parking problem. If you enjoy hitting the links at Cypresswood Golf Club or spending a day on Lake Houston, you need secure storage for your gear.

We offer massive uncovered parking spots up to 40 feet long for RV and Boat Storage.

This means you can park your pontoon, your 5th wheel, or your large RV securely behind our gates. And because we are right off the Beltway and I-45, you don’t have to drive miles out of your way to get it.

“I live in Remington Ranch, and my HOA was constantly sending me letters about my fishing boat,” says Marcus T., a long-time tenant. “I moved it to MyPlace because it’s literally on my way out of town. I grab some ice at the Big Z Food Mart next door, hook up the boat, and I’m on the highway to Lake Houston in five minutes. It’s actually easier than having it at home.”

For the Work Hard Crowd: Drive-Up Convenience

We also know that for many in Westfield and Bammel, your truck isn’t just for fun, it’s your livelihood. Landscapers, contractors, and small business owners need a place to keep equipment safe without cluttering up their home garage. For more specialized tips, check out our guide on Smart Contractor Storage Solutions.

Our Drive-Up Access Storage units are perfect for this. You can pull your work truck right up to the door, load your tools or inventory, and get to the job site. This is perfect for Business Storage needs.

Don’t Forget the Texas Heat

Of course, not everything belongs outside. If you are storing business documents, electronics, or leather furniture while you renovate your home in Hidden Valley, you need protection from the humidity.

Our facility proudly offers Climate-Controlled Storage units. This means your unit stays cool and dry year-round. It’s the only safe way to store sensitive items made of materials like wood or metal, protecting them from the extreme Texas climate. This is an excellent solution for Personal Storage as well.

We Are Your North Houston Neighbors

Whether you are a student at Remington College needing a place for your dorm stuff, or a frequent flyer wanting to store your car near George Bush Intercontinental Airport while you travel, we are right where you need us.

Reclaim your driveway. Stop stressing about the HOA.

Come see us at our North Houston storage facility. We have everything from small drive-up units to full climate-controlled access. Check our Size Guide to find the perfect spot for your boxes, your business, or your boat.
