Last updated: March 2026
If you’ve been searching for storage in Lockport and keep getting results in Tonawanda or Buffalo, there’s a reason. There are no self-storage facilities inside Lockport city limits. The closest option is about 10 minutes away in Wheatfield, and most Lockport residents drive past it regularly without realizing it’s there.
This guide covers exactly where to go, how far it is, what sizes are available, and what it costs in 2026
Why There’s No Storage Inside Lockport City Limits
Lockport is a city without a self-storage facility. Full stop. It’s not that the options are limited or hard to find. They simply don’t exist within city limits. That’s why searches for “storage units Lockport NY” surface aggregator sites listing places 20, 30, even 40 minutes away. Those results aren’t wrong, exactly. They’re just not giving you the full picture.
The closest self-storage to Lockport NY is Jeff’s Attic Secure Self Storage in Wheatfield, located at 6870 Plaza Drive, roughly 9 miles from downtown Lockport. For most Lockport residents, that’s a 10-minute drive. It’s the nearest facility in Niagara County, and it’s the one most people land on once they know it exists.
If you’ve been waiting to find something right in town, it’s not coming. Wheatfield is your practical answer.
How Far Is the Closest Storage Unit from Lockport?
Jeff’s Attic’s Wheatfield location sits at 6870 Plaza Drive, Wheatfield, NY 14304, about 9 miles from Lockport city center. From most parts of Lockport, you’re looking at a 10-minute drive via Niagara Falls Boulevard heading south. It’s a straight shot most Lockport residents already know.
If you’re coming from the north end of Lockport, take Davison Road south to Niagara Falls Boulevard. From the south end, hop on the boulevard directly. Either way, you’re in and out in under 25 minutes round trip.
That’s worth knowing before your move. You’re not committing to a 30-minute haul every time you need to access your stuff. You’re committing to something that’s genuinely close.
Jeff’s Attic is open 24/7, so there’s no window to work around. Access your unit on your schedule, any time, day or night.
What Size Storage Unit Do You Actually Need?
This is where most people get stuck. You don’t want to pay for more space than you need, but you also don’t want to cram everything in and realize halfway through that it’s not going to fit.
Here’s a straightforward breakdown of what each size holds. The Wheatfield location offers multiple size options starting at 5×5.
| Unit Size | What It Holds | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 5×5 | Small furniture, boxes, seasonal items | Clearing out a closet or small bedroom |
| 5×10 | Contents of a small bedroom, bike, sports gear | Apartment extras, seasonal gear swap |
| 10×10 | 2-3 rooms of furniture, sofas, mattress sets, dining table | Half a house during a move or renovation |
| 10×20 | Full 3-4 bedroom home contents | Whole-house move, business inventory |
| 10×30 | Large household plus vehicles, equipment | Maximum capacity, contractor storage |
Not sure where you fall? The honest answer: most Lockport residents renting their first unit need a 10×10. It holds more than you’d expect. A sofa, a bed, a dresser, and 20-30 boxes fits comfortably. If you’re just moving seasonal furniture out of the garage, a 5×10 usually does it.
Our staff at the Wheatfield location can walk you through sizing before you commit. No upsell pressure, just the right fit. You can also browse all available storage unit sizes at Jeff’s Attic to compare before you call.
