About this Location

Facility Overview

Neighbor Car Storage at 215 North St offers dedicated open-air vehicle storage and monthly parking strategically set along Bennington's principal commercial corridor. Situated within an established retail plaza that hosts familiar local businesses such as Goodwill and service shops, the facility features an expansive, paved surface lot layout. Because the facility is entirely open-air with no multi-story decks or overhangs, it boasts unlimited overhead clearance.

Per standard facility guidelines, inoperable junkers, full-size commercial semi-trailers, and charter buses are restricted, maintaining an orderly and clean environment for everyday personal and commercial passenger vehicles.
