What We Do
Neighbor is a peer-to-peer storage company that connects people with unused space to people in need of storage. Through Neighbor, homeowners turn their garages, basements, RV pads, etc. into extra monthly income and renters are given a flexible and affordable storage alternative. Demand for self storage has never been higher in the USA and supply is limited, which means high prices and inflexible contract agreements.
