24 Avenue B • East Village
The East Village packs more life into a square block than most cities manage in a zip code. Your apartment reflects that — which is exactly why you're here. We're on Avenue B, right in the middle of it all.
Why Avenue B
The East Village has always been a place where people own more than their apartment can hold. The apartments on 2nd Street, 9th Street, and Avenue A are full of character and short on square footage — a trade-off that generations of EV residents have made without complaint, until the guitar collection, the camping gear, and the boxes from the last move started making it hard to breathe.
Our Avenue B location sits at 194 East 2nd Street, at the corner of two of the most lived-in blocks in the neighborhood. You're a short walk from the F train at 2nd Avenue or the L at 1st or 3rd Avenue, which means getting here doesn't require rearranging your day. Walk over after work, swing by on a Sunday morning before brunch on 7th Street, or stop in late evening after a show at Bowery Electric.
This isn't a facility at the end of a long hallway in a commercial building across town. It's a neighborhood storage option designed around how East Village renters, creatives, and long-timers actually live.

Serving Your Block
Avenue B sits near the center of a dense, walkable cluster of neighborhoods — all of them full of small apartments and people who need more room.
From St. Marks to 14th, from 3rd Ave to Avenue D — the EV's mix of pre-war walk-ups and converted buildings keeps apartments tight and character high. Storage on Avenue B is as local as it gets.
Avenues A through D are some of the most densely residential blocks in Manhattan. Residents of Loisaida and the Avenues are a literal short walk to 24 Avenue B — no subway required.
Stuyvesant Town apartments are famously limited in storage. Our Avenue B facility is less than a 10-minute walk from the Oval, giving Stuy Town renters a real neighborhood option for the overflow.
Gramercy Park and Kips Bay buildings vary widely in storage — a self storage unit near Gramercy on Avenue B is an easy walk east, or a short ride on the 6 to Astor Place or 23rd St.
NoHo lofts sound spacious until you actually try to live in one. Residents between Bleecker and Houston can reach 24 Avenue B easily — the one Urban Stash location, serving the East Village and Lower East Side alike.
View 24 Avenue BThe F at 2nd Avenue (Houston St) is about an 8-minute walk south. The L at 1st Avenue and at 3rd Avenue (14th St) are both walkable to the north. Virtually every EV address is covered.
Why People Store Here
The area attracts a specific kind of person: creatively ambitious, perpetually busy, living in an apartment that's smaller than their life. Here's what ends up in our units.
The East Village has more musicians per square foot than most cities. Instruments, amps, cables, PA gear. Store between gigs or rehearsals without a trip to a practice space in Bushwick.
Find a Unit for Your Gear →Hauling a bike up four flights of a walk-up gets old fast. Our medium units fit most bike frames, plus room for helmets, locks, and seasonal gear. No building hallway, no theft risk, no drama.
Store Your Bike →Whether you're subletting for the summer, between apartments or waiting on a new place to open up, a short-term large unit is a better bridge than a moving company's storage fee.
Find Flexible Storage →Canvases, supplies, portfolio work, props, and materials accumulate fast. A dry, secure storage unit near your neighborhood beats leaving work in a shared studio — and costs a lot less.
