The Smartest Way to Move in Warren: Are You Still Using Your Freezing Driveway?
It’s November in Macomb County. The “seasonal swap” is in full swing, and we all know what’s just around the corner.
For most of us in Warren, Center Line, or Sterling Heights, this means a miserable weekend. You’re racing the first snowfall, trying to drag patio furniture into a garage that’s already full, all while slipping on wet leaves and freezing. If you live in a condo in the Warren Woods area or an apartment in the Ryan Road corridor, you have even less space to work with.
Now, what if you need to move stuff into storage?
The thought of doing that in a freezing, wet driveway off Ryan Rd or 8 Mile is enough to make you put it off for another month.
But you don’t have to.

Our “Drive-Inside” Bay Was Built for Michigan Weather
Our new MyPlace Self Storage facility on 22665 Ryan Rd wasn’t just built in Warren; it was built for Warren. We know what the weather is like here.
That’s why we built a massive, fully enclosed, drive-in loading bay.
You don’t just park near the door. You pull your truck, car, or moving van completely inside the building. It’s brightly-lit, clean, and, best of all, warm and dry. You are completely shielded from the snow, sleet, and that bitter Metro Detroit wind.
Security That Goes a Step Further
Here’s what makes our facility different. Once you pull into that loading bay, you are in a secure, enclosed sally port. You’re out of the weather, but you haven’t even reached the storage area yet.
To get to your unit, you must enter your personal, private access code at a second security door.
This two-stage system is the best of both worlds. You get the comfort of moving indoors and the peace of mind knowing that only authorized tenants can access the storage hallways. It’s a level of security you won’t find at an outdoor lot.
“I run a small business in Hazel Park and have to grab inventory at all hours,” says Sarah K., a new tenant. “The MyPlace on Ryan Rd is perfect. It’s right off I-696, so it’s a quick drive from Oakland County. I just pull my van right inside where it’s warm, use my code, and I’m in. It feels so much safer and easier than any other place I’ve used.”
100% Climate Control: The Non-Negotiable for Your Belongings
That secure bay leads to another key feature: our entire facility is 100% Climate-Controlled Storage.
Your garage, attic, or a non-climate unit will see freezing temperatures in January and humid 90-degree days in July. That cycle destroys your belongings.
- Wood furniture from your Royal Oak or Ferndale home will warp and crack.
- Electronics and business inventory get ruined by moisture.
- Family photos and important documents from your office near Warren City Hall can be destroyed by mildew.
Our units keep a stable temperature and humidity level, protecting your items all year long.
