Two Young Boys Found Living In Ewing Storage Facility
The lines between storage and residence continue to blur. As storage facilities increase the quality of their offerings, providing a range of electricity, cleanliness, coverage, even heating and cooling…some people resort to living in the storage unit meant only for their possessions.
“A mother arrested for a domestic violence incident in Trenton this morning was found to have her 5- and 10-year-old boys living inside a narrow storage unit in Ewing, police said today.
Trenton Officer Robert Arnwine, who interviewed Johnson after her arrest, went to the Extra Space Storage facility on the 1400 block of Prospect Street to check out the woman’s claims her boys were inside one of the units there, Kieffer said.
“They open it up,” Kieffer said of the officers who went to the unit. “That’s where their house is – that’s where they’re living.”
“It was just filthy in there,” he added.
Both children were taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Hopewell to be checked out and were released to the care of the state Department of Child and Families.” – NJ.com
The good news in this story is that both children were recovered in decent health and hopefully will receive rehabilitation. The court system will then decide whether or not they are to be placed in foster care, but it seems like a viable option based on the details of this story.
The criminal activity aside, this story is of particular interest to self storage owners and tenants. Owners need to be aware of extended stay time of residents. Facilities like DAK have 24/7 video surveillance so it’s much easier to notice suspicious behavior. Large facilities without surveillance have plenty of nooks and crannies for people to escape into. If tenants see that kind of behavior they should notify the owner immediately.
It’s sad to hear about the plight of these two children. Of course, the storage facility may have been the only thing keeping them from absolute homelessness. In keeping with that reality, we should treat situations like these with tact, care, and prompt action.
Storage for Leesport Apartment Renters
Leesport is home to many fine apartment complexes. In the current economy, renting is becoming a more common and reasonable solution for individuals with living space needs. The only catch is that apartment living can come with certain size constraints, especially for individuals who are moving in from out of town or who are downgrading in size.
If you have found yourself in a situation where you intend to rent but can’t comfortably fit all your possessions in your space, consider an affordable self storage solution.
Why Self Storage is Right for Renters
One of the most important factors of living in an apartment is avoiding a cramped and crowded sensation. This can take careful planning and tough choices regarding decorating and inclusion of things like furniture. Often renters will acquire things over the years as well and simply run out of storage space to put it.
DAK Self Storage is an optimal solution for individuals in this situation. DAK offers a wide variety of storage unit sizes, ranging from the size of a locker to the size of a large garage bay. This means we can accommodate small temporary storage needs or large long-term needs. Renters frequently end up with extra vehicles, furniture, tools, and other equipment that they need nearby but can not have in the rental unit. Fortunately DAK is located right off of highway 61 in town center, so their belongings are never more than a few minutes away.
Ready for Bulk Items or Sensitive Items
Even if you have lots and lots of items that need storage (short term or long term), we have wide drive up bays leading to large storage units. This makes it easy to transfer your possessions right from the moving truck into your space. If you happen to have sensitive items like art, wine, books, etc. we offer indoor climate controlled storage as well.
Our entire facility is fence enclosed and video monitored. You can rest easy when you store with DAK.

Self Storage Prices
One of the first concerns you’ll have when shopping for self storage is pricing. If a facility’s prices are too steep then it doesn’t matter how much you like their location or their business policies. One thing that we do at DAK is keep our prices as competitively low as possible without cutting corners on quality. The result is a facility that has all the polish and security you would want with rates that are generally cheaper than anyone else in the area.
You don’t have to take our word for it though, we are very transparent about our rates so that you can make an informed decision. When browsing our units, keep in mind the two biggest deciding factors on cost will be size and location. Size is obvious – the bigger the unit the more we have to charge for that space. However location is also a factor, most notably whether your desired unit is indoors or outdoors. Since our indoor facility is climate controlled the rate is generally a few bucks more a month. That being said, the differences in prices are not that steep so we don’t think cost will be a deterrent no matter what your needs.
