From Baldwin City
Summer storage for Baker University students, and the rest of town.
Free State Storage is about 21 miles and 30 minutes from Baker University: US-56 west to US-59, north on US-59 to K-10, then east on K-10 into Lawrence on East 23rd Street.
Baker students get 15% off any unit with a valid student ID. A 5x10 holds a dorm room's worth of boxes, a mini-fridge and a bike, and two roommates can share a 10x10. Rent online before move-out week and the gate code is waiting on your phone.
For Baldwin City homes, the drive-up units run up to a 20x20, and the same gate covers paved, uncovered parking for trailers, boats and RVs. Rentals are month-to-month, so summer-only means summer-only.
