Bridge Self Storage

It's a storage locker space plus it's got art studios and great landscaping and friendly staff

WOW , I couldn't believe all the different types of vendors , and different art that was there, custom Van conversion, music Venue's, etc, etc etc, and most importantly, they have one of the best and biggest storage facilities in the Richmond, CA area! and did I mention that you can, get freshly made food, from some of the highest rated, , catering Chiefs around.

And while I was there, I was privileged to get the day with them, . Especially since my birthday is coming up. It's a great place for a party and, absolutely beautiful at night ! But you can see for your self. Enjoy like I did.

This is a reminder of what the SF Bay Area used to be and the reason why folks from all over the world move here for CREATIVITY & COMMUNITY prior to the techies' invasion! This place gives me faith to believe that the creative spirit of the Bay ain't dead! Beautiful artist studios with nice patio/garden. Incredible events from music, art to comedy open to the public. Delicious food that taste like I'm down home visiting family in New Orleans. Speaking of New Orleans vibes, I definitely feel it here at Bridge- a funky & fun artist compound in a working class neighborhood, reminds me of the famous Treme neighborhood. It doesn't get better than this in getting the creative juices flowing! It's also not too far by car/ bicycle to Point Richmond, Ferry, & Richmond marina

Everything about bridge and art space is awesome, beautiful original pieces of local on display and for purchase. Lots of storage spaces, small to mid size office space for rent. Beautiful gardens, succulents in abundance, fresh fruit trees are in full bloom and ripe sweet plums, apricot, apples and ahhh yes little bunches of grapes, and at last the commissary kitchen, wow what can I say other than Opportunity to perfect recipes, have popups for local chefs to get their meals out for profit for minimum kitchen usage fee. Head Chef Brittni with her scrupulous entrees from crab Louis to twice baked potatoe to peachcobbler bombs to Grilled Philly chessesteak sandwiches.

Amazing, good vibe so chill, garden area set dead center is welcoming. Can't miss on the menu, Chef Brittni at Soulfully Dope kitchen is an absolute must try.

I love this place. I look for excuses to visit my storage space. Super friend staff and always something interesting going on.

My wife and I visited to pick up some Jamaican food from the pop up that cooks here on Thursdays. The food was very tasty, the music was dope, very cool place.

Great storage and art space. Friendly, helpful staff and pop-food and music. Metal, wood and fabric workshops. Also, interesting tenants!

I found out about Bridge through a class I was taking to help support me in starting a food business and learned that they have a commercial kitchen on site here. I took a tour with Phillip and learned that they offer not only a kitchen, but a woodworking and metal shop as well as storage and a space for group gatherings. Phil is really kind and supportive, he treated me like I was family.

The neighborhood is a little rough on the outside but this community space is like an oasis that is geared towards supporting people looking to explore their dreams (with parking!)

I love to come here for the art shows. And each time I think I'm going to spend a wee little bit of time and spend hours. There is some interesting art installation, an experimental movie playing, or something. It's nice to see the community of artists who come through and support each other, and all of this in the great city of Richmond (no sarcasm implied). It's hidden and tucked away, but it's worth the effort to seek them out. In December, they are having a crafts and art sale and I can't wait to go! Last year, I left with some real gems and this year? Who knows, but I bet it'll be good.

Enjoyed the wonderful, creative and diverse display of handmade instruments, you can play with most of them. It looks like a great environment for artists to work and rent space. Check their website for current shoes and docent lead tour.

Hidden gem of Richmond. I went here to see a resonance show and was blown away. So great that this space is supporting local musicians and artists, especially crackdowns on artist coops since Ghostship. For a very reasonable admission, $10 I attended a show and was permitted viewing of the museum(s). On display are local artist creations. Seeing recycled items be transformed into musical instruments was really fascinating.

The whole vibe here is super welcoming and lively. Staff are friendly, the corridors are filled with plants and art installations. Sort of reminds me of Oakland's Fairyland but for adults.

Great people. Aside from that great place. In addition to that they have garage sales there. I went there last weekend to the garage sale I didn't have any cash on me however Jeff who I believe is the owner went ahead and let me take what I wanted to buy and return with the cash later. I came back two days later and paid him. Thanks Jeff for being a good guy as well as running a good operation.

I have lived in Richmond for more than 30 years and waited all that time for someone to find us and create Bridge ARTSpace. Now it has come to pass, and I feel like I must have died and gone to art school on a full scholarship. This place, formerly an unremarkable collection of sheet-metal storage spaces, is quickly transforming into an actual community center for the arts.

I have attended several art shows there, a couple of poetry readings, an evening of standup comedy, and an exclusive West Coast screening of the recently assembled Orson Welles experimental mockumentary, "The Other Side of the Wind" (appropriately named, btw). Bridge ARTSpace hosts sewing classes, craft afternoons, song-writing sessions, neighborhood meetings, and my ukulele group, Richmond Ukulele Mayhem.

They have a film studio, a sound studio, a sewing lab, a woodshop, a metal shop, coworking space for artists, and lovely gardens. On second Sundays, a food truck pulls in. Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest active-duty U.S. National Park ranger (age 97) and probably the number-one draw for the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond CA, recently spoke at Bridge ARTSpace. Plus, Bridge ARTSpace offers free coffee, robust WiFi, and secure parking -- all waiting right off Hwy. 580, with new signage at Cutting and South 2nd Street to help first-timers find their way.

I went to a wonderful open house at Bridge Storage and ArtSpace last night. They had artists selling their crafts and fine art hanging on the walls. I am really impressed with this business! Thank you Bridge Storage and everyone involved with "The More the Merrier" holiday event. Next year, I am bringing more money!

One of a kind storage facility. It seems reflective of a hip business park. It gives the neighborhood unique charm with class.

Best self storage that I've ever seen. Much more availability of units and access times than other places in the area. The art aspect of the property is what makes it unique.

This is a great place for any beginning artist or so. The artist community use s wide range of medium. The people are very friendly and supportive. The grounds have beautifully decorated gardens. Their is a couple of lounge areas, one with a kitchen and free wi-fi. I often leave at night on foot, and I feel the area is fairly safe. Only on occasion I encounter a small group of neighborhood dogs not fenced in (during the day), that like to act tough. Their are staff in the office 7 days a week. The place is well kept. Parking is on or off the premises. I'm glad I found this place. I feel right at home.

Neighborhood is sketchy. Like "belongs in season 1 of The Wire" sketchy. Like "those guys standing around at the end of the block are waiting to either sell you drugs or shoot you" sketchy. That said, the storage space itself is very nice. It's well maintained. Security seems very reasonable. You are 200 yards away from people who kill people for fun and sell illegal drugs for money, but that 200 yards is pretty darn meaningful.

Because it doesn't feel unsafe once you are inside the gate. But if you have ANYONE in your life that will need to come to your storage unit (spouse, parent, neighbor, etc) that might freak out when surrounded by drug dealers, yeah, you may want to think twice about renting here.

I LOVE this place. They are locally owned, personable, down-to-earth, and so easy to do business with. And they are more than just a storage company: they rent art space, hold exhibitions for the artists in residence, and host periodic garage sales where storage tenants can try to sell off extra stuff. I left my belongings with them for two and a half years while I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and I love that the same people were working there when I returned.

It worked well for long-term storage because they had a deal in which I could get 12 months for the price of 11 if I paid in advance. And once I switched to month-to-month, it was super-easy to pay online. I was a little concerned when I first looked at the unit, because the facility didn't seem as spiffy and climate-controlled as some other places, but my stuff was in great shape when I returned. I like Bridge so much that I actually kind of regretted taking my stuff out of storage, but it was simply time!

I have nothing but good things to say about these guys! Incredible service, great people & unique because they rent artist studios on site as well, and hold swap meets once a month. I rented an outside space to store my car. It is covered and gated, exactly as they informed me on the phone. Top notch customer service! Also great surveillance and security alarms. I asked as to the rate of break ins or troubles and he said they haven't had any problems.

I have done business here for years, and they are the best storage I have ever used! Very family-like atmosphere and great to deal with. Highly recommend!

This place was so friendly and easy to work with that I was sad that I only needed the space for a few months. The owners and employees are very friendly and helpful and got me taken care of immediately. They helped me find the right size unit for my things, and it was clean, well-lit, and completely convenient. Everything in my unit was completely untouched by dust, dirt, rats, or any of the other horror stories you hear about at other storage places.

Though its in a dodgy neighborhood, the facility has great security with the gate, many locks, and cameras. The fact that it is also an ArtSpace is wonderful because they have a community as well. On one occasion when I visited they had a garage sale, and on another occasion some other sort of party where I was offered hotdogs and drinks. I felt very welcome and sad to move my things out.

The office is beautifully decorated too. Though it wasn't the cheapest place when I initially looked at it, nor the closest to Berkeley, it was absolutely worth it. There wasn't a single hidden fee and they did some very kind things like prorating my last month's rent when I went a few days late and throwing in a mattress cover when I first signed out the unit. I absolutely would recommend this storage facility to anyone!

Let me save you some time and energy in your hunt for a storage space. Nothing beats clean, secure storage with professional, personable customer service at Bridge. I've stored with them for over 2 years now, and have been with them through four different moves (Oakland to Berkeley, to Hayward, to El Cerrito, now back in Oakland.) I was tempted to switch to a storage facility closer to where I was living at any given time, but when I would check out other places no one could compete with the pricing, perks, and customer care at Bridge.

Not to mention, I can pay my bill on-line, call the office at anytime with a question/concern and there's an on-site moving truck for tenant use. No need for U-haul. I took a tour of their new art studio spaces last week and they look amazing! These folks are really trying to revolutionize the way we think about utilizing space. They are building community in every sense of the word.

If you get the pleasure to work with Scotty, the fabulous "do-it-all and then some gardener extrodinare" let it be known you will not walk away without a a real good laugh or a bit of random quirky knowledge to brighten your day. This is a family owned business that you can feel good about supporting

I agree with everything the previous poster said. This place is awesome. I had bad experience trying to book at another place in berkeley in which everything that could go wrong did. I called Bridge Self Storage and a super nice woman answered the phone right away (I called 5 places that never answered the phone) and she patiently answered all of my questions that I learned to ask from my bad experience at the other place.

The staff are professional, friendly and warm. The facility is high security, so you feel safe there even though it's in a rough neighborhood. The access to the units is easy and one story. One of the managers even poured me a glass of wine on my last load of the day! Not that that is standard.he just happened to be having one when I showed up at closing and offered me some.

I recommend this place to everyone who likes dealing with cool, family owned businesses and needs storage. It's worth the 15 minute drive from downtown berkeley. Oh, and they even offered to put a link to my photography website on their website in exchange for linking to theirs. How cool is that?!

Major rodent problems that are not dealt with. If you are in a roll up expect massive amounts of dust and dirt to blow in. If you want to learn more check out my site about the horrible experiences I had. The pictures are worth a thousand words. In response to their comments about contacting Vector Control it is not true. I contacted Vector Control not Bridge about this potentially dangerous health issue. Contact Vector Control if you doubt me. Why Bridge continued to ignore this issue was a mystery to me. http://synapsedigi.com/bridge/

The difference starts with your phone call to Bridge. Someone answers the phone promptly, identifies him- or herself, doesn't put you on hold, doesn't shout over music or asides from other people, and speaks clearly. Why, here's a storage place which is run like an actual business! When you arrive at the facility you enter a neatly kept office which seems to have been recently decorated.

Somebody friendly and professional-- in my case, James-- will guide you through the myriad papers you must sign, and to your storage place. On the way you might pass the nice little oasis of landscaping, certainly a unique feature to Bridge as far as I know. Your storage place is, well, a storage place. In goes your stuff, out stay the rain, mold, and rodents. Somebody's paying attention to keeping it safe while you can't. Meanwhile, you're dealing with 21st-century businesspeople, the kind who understand the importance of practices such as billing by email and using solar panels to provide some of the facility's electricity. Sure, you could probably go with cheaper, but then you'd get stuck with only your money's worth.
