Moving to Macon? Here’s Your Local Storage Checklist

Relocating to Macon, GA? Whether you’re coming for work, school, retirement—or just a fresh start—this fast-growing Middle Georgia city offers everything from walkable neighborhoods to riverfront recreation. But before you get fully settled, you’ll need a plan for handling your move—and possibly your extra stuff.

At Store Here – Macon, we’ve helped families, students, military members, and professionals get organized during local and long-distance moves. Below is our Macon GA storage checklist—with tips for decluttering, storing, and simplifying your relocation from day one.

1. Book Storage Before You Arrive

If your move-in date is delayed—or you’re downsizing during your transition—having a storage unit ready before you arrive can reduce a lot of stress. Our convenient storage units in Macon are available for online rental, and our on-site manager can help you choose the right size before your boxes even hit the driveway.

Not sure what size you’ll need? Take a look at our 10×10 storage guide—one of the most popular options for relocations, especially for those between homes or apartments.

2. Know Your New Neighborhood

Where you live in Macon can shape your storage and moving needs. If you’re looking for walkability, North Macon neighborhoods like Vineville or Wesleyan Hills are popular for families and retirees. Bloomfield is ideal for apartment dwellers who need extra closet space or seasonal storage.

Our Mercer University Drive location serves all three areas with drive-up access, flexible leases, and local expertise to help you settle in fast.

3. Reserve a Truck (Or Use Ours!)

We rent U-Haul trucks right on-site, which means you can pick up, load, and drop off in one stop—no second location required. Moving across Macon? We also offer a free move-in truck for new tenants on a first-come, first-serve basis. Ask our manager when you reserve.

4. Know What to Donate, Ditch, or Store

Downsizing? Moving from out of state? Don’t bring everything with you. Macon has several donation centers that accept gently used clothing, furniture, and appliances, including:

  • Goodwill – 2433 Pio Nono Ave
  • Salvation Army – 1955 Broadway
  • Habitat for Humanity ReStore – 690 Holt Ave

Still unsure what to bring? Seasonal items like patio furniture, bikes, or holiday décor are great candidates for short-term storage while you figure things out. That’s why many new residents use our moving tips post as a go-to resource for staging and unpacking.

5. Boat or RV? You’ll Need a Parking Plan

If your move to Macon involves a boat, RV, or trailer, don’t forget about where to keep it when it’s not in use. We’re just minutes from Lake Tobesofkee and offer boat and RV storage right here on-site. Wide lanes, keypad entry, and flexible leases make it easy to store your vehicle while you move in or explore.

6. Students, We’ve Got You Covered Too

If you’re a student relocating to Mercer University or Middle Georgia State, we offer student storage designed for short-term flexibility. Many new students store items over the summer or between leases. We’ve helped dozens of first-years and grad students simplify move-in and move-out season with quick, ground-level access and a free move-in truck.

Plan Ahead. Settle In Smarter.

Moving to Macon doesn’t have to mean chaos. With a little planning—and the right storage team—you can make the transition smooth, organized, and stress-free.
