Self-Storage in Pennsylvania | Forward Storage — Hamlin (Poconos)
Forward Storage operates in Hamlin, PA — in the Pocono region, convenient to Lake Wallenpaupack, Hawley, Honesdale, and the broader vacation-home economy of northeastern Pennsylvania. We serve the seasonal rhythms of the Poconos: vacation-home owners between visits, college students at East Stroudsburg University, and the contractor and trades economy supporting Pocono construction and renovation.

Who stores with us in Pennsylvania
Pocono vacation-home owners. The Pocono region has tens of thousands of vacation homes owned by NYC and NJ metro residents. Owners often need storage for off-season items, between-tenant turnover storage for rental properties, and overflow during renovation projects.
Lake Wallenpaupack property owners. Pennsylvania’s second-largest lake is ringed with vacation homes. Owners need storage for boats, watercraft accessories, seasonal furniture, and weather-sensitive belongings.
East Stroudsburg University students. ESU students need summer dorm storage and between-apartment transitions during the school year.
Pocono contractors and trades. The contractor economy supporting Pocono construction, renovation, and seasonal property turnover uses flex bays for tools, materials staging, and equipment.
NYC/NJ weekenders. Many Pocono renters and owners commute weekly from NYC and NJ. Some store work-from-Pocono items, sporting goods, and weekend gear locally rather than schlepping back and forth.
Pennsylvania self-storage market context
The Pocono region’s self-storage market splits between vacation-economy-oriented operators (positioned for second-home overflow, seasonal storage, watercraft) and standard residential storage. Hamlin is central to the region — convenient to Lake Wallenpaupack (15-20 min), Hawley (10 min), Honesdale (15 min), and the broader NEPA market.
Our positioning:
- Climate-controlled inventory for wood furniture, leather, books, instruments
- Month-to-month flexibility essential for seasonal/vacation-home patterns
- Drive-up access for boats, watercraft, and seasonal equipment
- Online rental management — vacation-home owners often manage remotely from NYC/NJ
Pricing in the Poconos runs slightly above Pennsylvania state averages due to vacation-economy demand. A 10×10 standard typically rents $90-140/month, with climate-controlled adding 20-30%.
Pennsylvania — frequently asked questions
Is Hamlin convenient from Lake Wallenpaupack? Yes — roughly 15-20 minutes from most lake-area communities (Hawley, Lake Wallenpaupack proper, Paupack). Convenient for boat winterization storage, off-season furniture, and seasonal turnover.
Do you offer boat and watercraft storage? Drive-up storage units accommodate smaller watercraft (kayaks, canoes, jet-skis) and outboard motors. For full pontoon boats and larger vessels, specialty marine storage operators are better suited.
Can I manage my Pocono storage remotely from NYC/NJ? Yes — full online rental, payment, and account management. Many of our Hamlin customers live in NYC or NJ and manage their Pocono storage entirely remotely.
Is climate-controlled storage worth it in the Poconos? For wood furniture, leather, books, instruments, and electronics — yes. Pocono winters get cold (sub-20°F not uncommon) and summers are humid; the swings are hard on these materials over a winter+summer cycle.
