Metro Self-Storage is Nova Scotia's most accessible self-storage provider, with 10 facilities located across the Halifax Regional Municipality and Truro. Whether you're a homeowner in the suburbs of Sackville, a business operating out of Burnside, a student at one of Halifax's universities, or a tradesperson working across the province, Metro has a storage location close to you with the size, access type, and features you need.
All Metro facilities across Nova Scotia offer flexible rentals, 24/7 unit access, and online reservations — with no long-term contracts required.
Metro operates 10 storage locations spanning Halifax, Dartmouth, Bayers Lake, Lower Sackville, and Truro — giving Nova Scotians more local options than any other storage provider in the province.
Our Downtown Halifax location on Clifton Street serves residents and businesses in the North End, the Peninsula, and the urban core. With climate-controlled units and elevator access across multiple floors, it's the ideal solution for apartment dwellers, students, and downtown businesses who need secure storage without a car-dependent commute.
Metro operates two facilities in Bayers Lake — at Chain Lake Drive and Lovett Lake Court — both conveniently situated near the Bayers Lake Business Park and the communities of Timberlea, Lakeside, and Beechville. Both locations offer drive-up units and 24/7 access, and are easily reached from the Bayers Lake interchange off Highway 102.
Our two Burnside facilities on Thornhill Drive and Joseph Zatzman Drive serve Dartmouth residents and the businesses operating throughout the Burnside Industrial Park — Atlantic Canada's largest business park. Climate-controlled units at both locations make them a strong fit for commercial clients storing inventory, equipment, documents, or sensitive goods year-round.
Metro has three storage facilities serving the Lower Sackville area — at 59 Walker Avenue, 25 Walker Avenue, and 42 Glendale Avenue. Together, they offer the most storage capacity of any provider in the community, with drive-up units, climate-controlled options, and 24/7 access available across all three sites.
Metro's two Truro locations — on Willow Street and Upham Drive — serve Central Nova Scotia's largest city and the surrounding communities of Bible Hill, Millbrook, and Stewiacke. Both facilities offer drive-up units with 24/7 access, making them a practical choice for Truro residents and businesses who need storage in the heart of the province.
Nova Scotia's housing market continues to evolve rapidly — with homeowners downsizing, families upgrading, and renters navigating transitions in a competitive market. Metro's household storage units give you a safe, accessible place to store furniture, appliances, seasonal gear, and personal items during moves, renovations, or any time your home simply runs out of space. Units range from compact 5×5 lockers to large 10×20 spaces capable of holding a full household's worth of belongings.
From Burnside contractors to Halifax retailers to Truro tradespeople, Nova Scotia businesses of all sizes use Metro for commercial storage. Storing inventory, equipment, records, and supplies off-site is a cost-effective alternative to larger commercial leases, and our drive-up units make loading and unloading fast and practical. 24/7 access means your storage works on your schedule, not the other way around.
Halifax is home to some of Canada's most prominent universities — Dalhousie University, Saint Mary's University, NSCAD, and the Nova Scotia Community College among them — and thousands of students need short-term storage between semesters, during co-op placements, or when leaving residence. Metro's downtown Halifax and Bayers Lake locations are well-positioned for student storage, with small, affordable units and flexible rentals that match the academic calendar. Student discounts are available — ask when you reserve.
Nova Scotia's climate is hard on belongings. Cold, damp winters and humid summers can damage wooden furniture, warp flooring, crack electronics, degrade fabrics, and affect anything sensitive to temperature or moisture. Climate-controlled and temperature-controlled storage units are available at multiple Metro locations — including Clifton Street in Halifax, Thornhill Drive and Joseph Zatzman Drive in Dartmouth, and 59 Walker Avenue in Sackville — maintaining stable conditions year-round so your items are protected regardless of what the weather is doing outside.
Drive-up units are available at Metro locations throughout Nova Scotia, letting you pull your vehicle directly to your unit's door for fast, easy loading and unloading. Ideal for contractors, movers, landscapers, and anyone storing bulky or heavy items they access regularly. No hallways, no elevators, no wasted time.
Whether you're relocating within Nova Scotia, arriving from out of province, or waiting for a possession date, Metro's flexible month-to-month storage is built for transitions. Reserve your unit online before your move date, pay nothing until you move in, and stay for as long as the situation requires. No pressure, no penalties, no minimum term.
With CFB Halifax and CFB Greenwood among the province's largest employers, Nova Scotia has a significant military community that routinely needs storage during postings, deployments, and relocations. Metro Self-Storage offers discounts for active duty and veteran military members. Our Halifax and Sackville locations are particularly convenient for personnel based at CFB Halifax and its surrounding communities.
