Jefferson County's Widest Range of Storage Space, Right on North 8th Street
Fairfield isn't a typical Iowa town, and the people who live and work here don't always have typical storage needs. Old Foundry Storage at 603 N 8th Street was built with that in mind — offering everything from small climate-controlled units to warehouse-scale space reaching nearly 2,000 square feet, all under one roof in the north part of town. Whether you're a household clearing out a spare room, a small business that needs room to breathe, or a contractor managing equipment between jobs, the range here is hard to match anywhere else in Jefferson County.
The North 8th Street location puts you just minutes from the Fairfield square, Maharishi International University, and the US-34 Burlington Avenue corridor. Ground floor access makes loading straightforward, and month-to-month terms mean your storage plan can shift as your situation changes. For storage units in Fairfield that scale from a single closet's worth of goods to a full commercial footprint, this is the place.
Getting in and out of your unit should never feel like a project. At Old Foundry Storage, gate code entry and a security fence create a controlled environment without unnecessary friction. Security cameras are in place throughout the facility, and ground floor access means you won't need to navigate stairs or elevators when you're moving furniture, boxes, or business supplies.
On-site moving supplies take one more errand off your list when you're packing for a move or a cleanout. Protection plan options add a layer of reassurance for items you plan to store longer term. Rentals run month-to-month, so there's no pressure to commit beyond what you actually need — whether that's a few weeks during a home renovation or an open-ended arrangement for an ongoing business operation. A storage facility in Fairfield should work around your schedule, not the other way around.

What Our Customer Are Saying
Storage Types at Old Foundry That Match Real Needs in Fairfield
Climate-Controlled Storage for Iowa's Humidity and Hard Winters
Iowa's weather puts real stress on stored belongings. Summer humidity can warp wood, grow mold, and damage photographs or electronics, while the freeze-thaw cycle from November through March creates its own set of risks for furniture, instruments, and clothing. Our climate-controlled storage units maintain steadier temperature and humidity conditions year-round, which matters when you're storing items that can't simply be wrapped in plastic and forgotten about.
This option is especially practical for Fairfield households downsizing, making room for a home renovation, or storing belongings between lease terms at or around Maharishi International University. It's also the right call for business records, product samples, and inventory that need to stay in reliable condition regardless of the season.
Warehouse Storage for Fairfield's Entrepreneurs, Contractors, and Growing Businesses
Old Foundry Storage offers warehouse-scale space that goes well beyond what other Fairfield facilities carry — up to nearly 2,000 square feet in a single unit. That kind of footprint changes the equation for businesses that have been making do with cramped commercial space, overflow stacked in a garage, or expensive square footage they only need part of the year. Contractors, distributors, local retailers, and growing operations in the Jefferson County area use our warehouse storage to keep equipment organized, stage pallet inventory, and maintain supplies without renting a full commercial building.
Fairfield's economy includes a notable cluster of small businesses, artisans, sustainable food producers, and tech-oriented companies connected to the MIU community. Many of those operations need flexible, affordable commercial space that doesn't require a long-term commercial lease. Ground floor access and controlled entry make it easy to load and stage materials efficiently. If your operation has outgrown standard unit sizes, this is the storage solution in Fairfield worth calling about.
Vehicle, Boat, and RV Storage Near Fairfield's Southeast Iowa Outdoor Routes
Southeast Iowa gives outdoor enthusiasts easy access to the Skunk River corridor, Lake Darling State Park, and the lakes and recreation areas beyond — but that same outdoor lifestyle means driveways and curb space fill up fast. Our vehicle storage options support car, truck, boat, and RV parking for households and businesses that need a designated, controlled space off their home property.
Boat owners who spend spring and summer on the water around Jefferson County appreciate having a reliable off-season storage spot that's easy to access on a weekend. RV owners heading out on longer routes through Iowa and beyond can keep their rig stored and ready without taking up the driveway all winter. Gate code entry and a security fence add a layer of control that street parking or a shared lot simply can't offer.
Household Storage for Fairfield Families and Seasonal Cleanouts
When closets are packed and the garage has become a storage unit of its own, it's time for a real plan. Household storage at Old Foundry gives Fairfield families a practical way to clear space without getting rid of what they want to keep — furniture, seasonal décor, sports gear, tools, holiday items, and anything else that cycles in and out with the seasons.
Remodeling projects, estate cleanouts, and downsizing transitions are all situations where having a reliable short-term home for belongings makes a real difference. Month-to-month terms mean you're not locked into space you no longer need once the project is done. Use our storage unit size guide to estimate how much space your household items will actually require before you rent.
Business Storage for Fairfield Companies That Need More Room to Operate
Business storage at Old Foundry supports Fairfield operations of all sizes — from sole proprietors keeping inventory out of their home workspace to established companies managing records, seasonal supplies, and equipment between projects. Having a dedicated off-site space keeps your main location cleaner and your team working from a less cluttered environment.
Climate-controlled options are available for records, samples, and technology that need steadier conditions. Larger warehouse units handle equipment, bulk materials, and operational inventory that would otherwise require commercial square footage. For Fairfield businesses looking for a cost-aware way to expand their storage footprint without expanding their lease commitments, this location covers the full range.
Moving and Relocation Storage When Your Fairfield Timeline Shifts
Closing dates change. Renovations run long. Lease overlaps happen. Moving storage gives Fairfield renters and homeowners a flexible bridge between where they are and where they're going, without the pressure of rushing an entire move in a single day.
Students and staff transitioning between housing around Maharishi International University — including international students whose schedules don't always align with standard lease cycles — frequently use storage during the gaps. On-site moving supplies help you pack efficiently before the move begins. Month-to-month terms mean the storage plan adapts to your timeline, not the other way around. Browse our storage tips for packing and planning advice before your next transition.

Sizing up one unit level is often worth it if you expect to visit your unit frequently. Our storage unit size guide walks through common household and commercial scenarios with size recommendations.
Are rentals month-to-month, or is a long-term contract required?
