A downstairs caged storage unit in the basement makes seasonal changes easy. We are taking the shelves but highly recommend having shelves in the storage unit to maximize space. Dual entrances are secure with a code for front door and a side gated arstorage. sharable code that allows packages to be delivered safely (you must give directions to UPS/FedEx/Amazon to use gate on American St) without permitting access to the inner building itself. In the gated area, we have bike racks for year-round athletic storage. We still recommend a kryptonite lock for bikes. This area is also pur garbage collection area. HOA includes trash removal, monthly cleaning of common entrances and hallways, and snow removal during winter.
