If you’re stationed at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station and need storage for a PCS, deployment, or housing gap, the closest secure facility is on the same road as your gate. Jeff’s Attic Niagara Falls sits on Porter Road, a short drive from NFARS on the same airport corridor, and the 10% military discount stacks on top of any current promotion.
This guide is for active duty Reservists with the 914th Air Refueling Wing, Air Guard members with the 107th Attack Wing, Army Reserve units at the AFRC, civilian DoD employees, and military families dealing with the timing puzzle of PCS dates, deployments, and housing that won’t line up. Storage isn’t glamorous. But getting it right saves you from paying twice or living out of boxes for an extra month.
Closest Secure Storage to Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station
The closest secure self storage to Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station is Jeff’s Attic Niagara Falls at 9805 Porter Road, on the same airport corridor as the base. Standard units start at $85 per month, with 11 unit sizes available from 5×5 up to 20×30. Active duty, reservists, and veterans get a 10% discount that stacks on top of any current promotion.
NFARS is adjacent to Niagara Falls International Airport, and Porter Road runs right past both the airport and Jeff’s Attic. From the base gate, you’re looking at a short drive on the same corridor. No long detour, no driving through downtown Niagara Falls, no scheduling around base traffic patterns.

How the 10% Military Discount Stacks With Other Promotions
Most national storage chains advertise a “military discount” that you cannot combine with any other offer. Jeff’s Attic runs it differently. The 10% discount stacks on top of whatever current promotion is active, which is rare in the storage industry.
Who qualifies:
- Active duty. Any branch, any status. Bring your CAC at move-in.
- Reservists and Air National Guard. This includes 914 ARW Reserve Citizen Airmen, 107 ATW Air Guard members, and Army Reserve personnel at the AFRC. Reserve ID works.
- Veterans. Bring a VA ID, DD-214, or state-issued veteran-designated driver’s license.
- Retirees. Bring your retiree ID.
The discount applies to the monthly storage rate. So if there’s a current promo running (a free first month, a percentage off the first three months, whatever’s active), the 10% comes off the regular rate after that promo expires. Two stacked savings instead of one. Over a six-month deployment storage period, this adds up to real money rather than a token gesture.
Bring your military ID at move-in. The team at the Niagara Falls facility will apply the discount on the spot.
Storage During a PCS Move In or Out of NFARS
PCS moves rarely line up cleanly. Either you arrive at NFARS before your housing is ready, or you’re outprocessing and your follow-on duty station’s housing isn’t available yet. The gap creates a storage problem.
Three common PCS scenarios at NFARS:
Inbound PCS, housing not ready
You’re reporting to the 914 ARW or 107 ATW and base housing or the rental you signed for has a later move-in date. You need somewhere to put household goods until the keys hit your hand. Jeff’s Attic holds your unit for up to 30 days from the date you reserve, with no upfront payment. You can lock in your size and price before your moving truck arrives.
Outbound PCS, partial DITY move
You’re moving to your next duty station and bringing some items yourself. Some need to ship, some need to follow you, and a third pile (tools, seasonal gear, the stuff you don’t want movers touching) needs to sit somewhere local for a few weeks while you square away the rest. A short-term unit at Jeff’s Attic gives you a staging area that’s not your friend’s garage.
Spouse or family PCS while service member stays
The service member is staying at NFARS but the family is moving for school or job reasons. Or the reverse. Either way, household goods get split and the items that don’t travel need a clean, secure place to live in the meantime.
For any of these, the Niagara Falls location at 9805 Porter Road is the closest option to base, with 24/7 access so you’re not waiting on business hours during a move.
Storage for Deployments and Long-Term TDY
Deployments and extended TDY orders mean somebody’s stuff sits for six months, twelve months, or longer. The setup needs to handle the duration without becoming a problem.
What to consider for long-term storage at NFARS:
Vehicle storage during deployment
If you’re deploying and don’t want to leave a personal vehicle at base housing or street parking, vehicle storage is the better play. Jeff’s Attic Niagara Falls offers vehicle storage at the same location. Before you drop off:
- Fill the gas tank and add a fuel stabilizer if storage will run more than 30 days (prevents moisture buildup and ethanol breakdown)
- Disconnect the battery or use a battery tender if your unit allows it
- Inflate tires to the upper end of recommended PSI to reduce flat-spotting
- Cover the vehicle with a breathable cover, not a tarp that traps moisture
- Pull the registration and insurance documents to verify they don’t expire mid-deployment
- Note: if you’re eligible, government POV storage is also an option (requires DD Form 2506) and may be cheaper than private storage
Household goods during deployment
If you’re a single service member or your family is relocating during your deployment, household contents need a six-to-twelve-month home. A 10×10 unit holds the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, and the 10×15 fits most two-bedroom setups. Reserve a size with a little headroom rather than packing tight; coming home and unpacking is easier when you’re not playing Tetris.
Power-of-attorney access
If you’re deployed and want a spouse, family member, or trusted friend to access the unit, set up access in writing at move-in. Jeff’s Attic is a self storage facility, not a managed warehouse, so access decisions are yours.
What Service Members Typically Store at Jeff’s Attic
A few things most self storage facilities will not accept, including Jeff’s Attic in most cases: firearms and ammunition, explosives, hazardous materials, anything perishable, or anything illegal. For firearms specifically, check with the facility before you reserve, since policies vary. Service members at NFARS often have a better option through the base armory or a licensed dealer for off-base storage. The rest of the standard military household goods load (furniture, electronics, uniforms, gear) is fine.
If you’re not sure what size fits, call (716) 773-2000 and the staff will walk through it with you. Picking the right size matters more than picking a small one to save a few dollars; if your stuff doesn’t fit, you end up renting two units.
How to Reserve and What to Bring at Move-In
Reserving online takes about five minutes and locks in your size, price, and any active promotion for up to 30 days before move-in. No upfront payment.
- Pick the Niagara Falls location. That’s 9805 Porter Road, closest to NFARS.
- Pick your size. Use the table above as a starting point or call the team to talk through your situation.
- Reserve online. Your size, price, and current promo are held for 30 days, no payment due until move-in.
- Show up with your military ID at move-in. Bring your CAC, Reserve ID, retiree ID, VA ID, or DD-214. Whichever shows your status. The 10% discount applies on the spot.
- Move in on your schedule. All Jeff’s Attic facilities have 24/7 access. No appointment, no waiting on business hours.
If you’re deploying or PCS’ing soon and the dates aren’t certain yet, the 30-day hold gives you a buffer. Reserve once you have orders in hand and adjust if dates shift.
