About Us

Vehicle Storage South of Chapel Hill, Near Jordan Lake

There are plenty of reasons to store a vehicle: a student heading home for the summer, a household with one more car than the driveway can hold, an HOA that limits what you can park outside, or a second vehicle you only drive part of the year. MyPlace Self-Storage in Chapel Hill gives your car or small vehicle a secure home just south of town, off US-15/501 near Fearrington and Jordan Lake. Our paved parking spaces are 25 feet long, which comfortably fits everyday cars, sedans, and small trucks, and can accommodate a small boat or utility trailer. For large motorhomes and big boats, our RV and boat storage page can point you to the right MyPlace Self Storage location.

Being near Jordan Lake makes this a handy spot for storing a small fishing boat or a jet ski trailer between outings, and being just off US-15/501 makes drop-off and pickup quick from campus, Carrboro, Pittsboro, or the Chatham County side. Confirm the right fit for your vehicle with our unit size guide. Please note our parking spaces are popular and can fill up, so it is worth reserving early.

Simple Parking, Plus Space for Your Gear

Storing a vehicle with MyPlace is straightforward. Reserve your paved space online, park, and go, with the reassurance of modern security features watching over the property. Many customers pair a parking space with an indoor unit: students store belongings in a climate-controlled unit while their car sits outside for the summer, and boaters keep life jackets, water toys, and tackle in a nearby drive-up unit so everything is in one place. Motorcycle and ATV owners can also explore our motorcycle and ATV storage options.

Flexible month to month leases mean you can store a vehicle for a semester, a season, or year-round, and our optional Storage Protection Plan adds extra peace of mind.

Areas We Serve

Because we sit just south of town along the US-15/501 corridor, we are an easy, low-traffic drive for customers across a wide part of the region. We proudly serve customers throughout southern Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the surrounding communities, including Fearrington Village, Governors Club, Governors Village, Southern Village, Meadowmont, Briar Chapel, Pittsboro, and the areas around Jordan Lake and Chatham County, as well as nearby Durham and Hillsborough.

Richard McCall

Great service from the customer service team/manager. Only thing, it would’ve been nice to get the one month free. Evidently that’s for new people not existing customers who needed to downsize their unit
