Moving to Helena or East Helena? How Storage Units Makes Moving Easier


Moving to a new town is exciting — but also stressful when your housing plans aren’t finalized. If you're relocating to Helena or East Helena, there's a good chance you’ll have a period of transition between arrival and getting fully settled. That’s where self storage can be a game-changer. Using storage units during this transition lets you keep your belongings safe, accessible, and out of the way while you finalize your living situation. Whether you’re waiting for paperwork, finishing a build, or moving from out of state, here's what you should consider storing and how a trusted self storage facility can help.

Why Use Self Storage When Moving to Helena or East Helena?

  • 🏡 Avoid clutter in temporary housing
  • 📦 Keep valuables safe while house hunting
  • 🚚 Simplify the moving process by staging your move in phases

Silvertip Storage offers flexible and affordable self storage units in Helena and East Helena, designed to meet the needs of individuals and families on the move.

What Items to Store While You Settle In Your Self Storage Unit


1. Large Furniture

Bulky items like couches, beds, and dining tables can overwhelm temporary housing or short-term rentals. A clean, secure self storage unit keeps them protected and out of the way until move-in day.

2. Seasonal Gear

Montana’s weather changes fast. If you're arriving in summer, you may not need winter gear, snow blowers, or skis right away. Store them safely in a storage facility until you do.

3. Home Décor & Extra Kitchen Items

Staging your temporary space with all your décor and dishware isn’t necessary. Pack up your non-essentials and use self storage to keep things organized.

4. Kids' Toys or Hobby Equipment

Not everything needs to be unpacked right away. Store large toy sets, bikes, crafting tools, or sports gear until your family is fully moved in and has space to use them.

5. Garage or Outdoor Equipment

Grills, lawnmowers, gardening tools, and storage bins can clutter up smaller living spaces. They’re perfect for temporary housing in a self storage unit near your new home.
