Dublin's north side — from Phibsborough and Drumcondra to Raheny, Howth, and out to Swords — is home to hundreds of thousands of people. And like the south side, finding genuinely local, affordable storage has historically been a challenge. Most commercial self-storage facilities are clustered in industrial areas, not in the residential neighbourhoods where people actually live.

Peer-to-peer storage is changing that. On Packhood, north Dublin homeowners list their unused garages, attics, and spare rooms for neighbours to rent. It's cheaper, closer, and more flexible than traditional self-storage.
