Most 1-bedroom apartments fit in a 10x10 storage unit, and a studio or a lightly furnished 1-bedroom usually fits in a 5x10. At AA Personal Storage in Parowan, Utah, a 5x10 rents for $40 a month and a 10x10 for $65 a month (as listed in October 2026), both month to month with drive-up access.
Picking the right storage unit size for a 1 bedroom apartment saves you money twice: you don't pay for empty space every month, and you don't show up on moving day with a couch that won't go in. This guide walks room by room through a typical 1-bedroom, gives a quick size chart for light, average, and full apartments, and explains the door and ceiling measurements that matter at our Parowan facility. If you want to see every unit we rent side by side, start with our full storage unit size guide.
For an average 1-bedroom apartment, a 10x10 storage unit (100 square feet) is the right size. If you have little furniture, or you're storing a studio, a 5x10 (50 square feet) or 5x12.5 (62.5 square feet) is usually enough.
The deciding factor isn't the number of rooms. It's how much large furniture you own. Boxes stack neatly to the ceiling, but a sofa, a bed frame, and a dining table take up floor space no matter how well you pack. Use this quick chart as a starting point:
| Your apartment | Typical contents | Recommended size at AAPS | Monthly rate (October 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or very light 1-bedroom | Bed, dresser, TV, 10 to 20 boxes | 5x10 (50 sq ft) | $40 |
| Light 1-bedroom | Above, plus a loveseat or small table and chairs | 5x12.5 (62.5 sq ft) | $50 |
| Average 1-bedroom | Bed, dresser, sofa, dining set, washer, 20 to 30 boxes | 10x10 (100 sq ft) | $65 |
| Full 1-bedroom, or 1-bedroom plus garage | Above, plus sectional, appliances, tools, bikes, yard gear | 10x15 (150 sq ft) | $75 |
Box counts and item lists are typical estimates, not guarantees. A queen bed and a king bed, or a loveseat and a sectional, can change the answer by a full size.
Every enclosed unit at AA Personal Storage in Parowan, Utah is a ground-level, drive-up unit with a roll-up door and a 9-foot ceiling (the 10x15 also comes in a 10-foot version). Here are the measurements from our Rent page as of October 2026.
| Unit | Floor area | Ceiling | Door width | Door height | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5x10 | 50 sq ft | 9 ft | 3.7 ft | 7 ft 10 in | $40/mo |
| 5x12.5 | 62.5 sq ft | 9 ft | 3.7 ft | 7 ft 10 in | $50/mo |
| 10x10 | 100 sq ft | 9 ft | 8.5 ft | 7 ft 10 in | $65/mo |
| 10x15 | 150 sq ft | 9 ft or 10 ft | 8.7 ft (9 ft unit) | 8.0 ft | $75/mo |
To picture them, a 5x10 is roughly the size of a large walk-in closet, and a 10x10 is about half of a one-car garage. These comparisons are approximate.
A typical 1-bedroom has four zones: bedroom, living room, kitchen and dining, and storage spaces like closets and a patio. Walk through each one before you pick a unit, because closets and patios are where the surprise boxes come from.
Add it up. If your list is mostly boxes plus a bed and a dresser, a 5x10 works. Once a full sofa, a dining set, and appliances join the list, plan on a 10x10.
A 5x10 is big enough for a studio or a lightly furnished 1-bedroom, but not for most fully furnished ones. At AA Personal Storage in Parowan, a 5x10 is $40 a month and fits about a small bedroom's worth of furniture plus boxes.
Our Rent page describes the 5x10 as fitting the contents of a small bedroom, including a queen-sized bed, a dresser, a TV, and several small to medium boxes. That's a good match for:
Watch the door width. The 5x10 and 5x12.5 units have a 3.7-foot-wide roll-up door (about 44 inches). A mattress carried on its edge and most dressers go through easily, but a large sofa may need to go in on end, and a sectional usually comes apart first. Measure your biggest piece before you choose a narrow unit. Our 5x10 vs 10x10 comparison goes deeper on this choice.
Choose a 10x10 when you're storing a fully furnished 1-bedroom: bed, sofa, dining set, and boxes together. At AA Personal Storage in Parowan, Utah, a 10x10 is $65 a month with an 8.5-foot-wide door.
The 10x10 is the most common answer for a 1-bedroom for three reasons:
Our Rent page describes the 10x10 as holding the contents of an entire family room or two full bedrooms, so a 1-bedroom apartment fits with room to spare for bikes or patio furniture. See our 10x10 storage unit guide for a detailed packing plan. Availability changes often (only one 10x10 was listed open when we checked on October 24, 2026), so check the Rent page or reserve early.
A studio apartment usually fits in a 5x10 storage unit, which costs $40 a month at AA Personal Storage in Parowan. Step up to the $50 5x12.5 if you have a futon or loveseat plus a small table.
Pack the heaviest, largest items in first along the back and side walls, then stack boxes on top and toward the front. A good plan can let you fit a 1-bedroom into a smaller unit than you expected.

Here's what else to know about cost:
People often store a 1-bedroom for a short stretch between leases, during a move to or from Iron County, or while living in a smaller furnished place.

Often, but check the door first. The 5x10 units at AA Personal Storage in Parowan have a 3.7-foot-wide door that is 7 feet 10 inches tall, so a standard sofa may need to go in on end. Sectionals usually need to come apart. If your sofa is large, a 10x10 with its 8.5-foot door is easier.
