Büyükçekmece is a district on the shores of a lake and the sea, with many villas, residential complexes and summer homes. In coastal neighborhoods such as Mimarsinan, Kumburgaz and Güzelce, some homes fill up in summer and empty out in winter, while the district center has spacious homes lived in year-round.
Spacious homes and seasonal use make household storage a frequently needed service in Büyükçekmece. From garden furniture to the entire contents of a villa, Troy Depo picks up your belongings at your door, packs them and keeps them in our partner warehouses.

Who Needs Household Storage in Büyükçekmece?
Summer home owners
In a summer home left empty over the winter, the risks of moisture, burglary and upkeep go up. Many summer home owners make a habit of putting their valuables in storage at the end of the season and bringing them back at the start of summer.
Villa residents
In homes with large gardens, garden furniture, sun loungers and camping gear take up space all winter. You can find details on villa belongings in our article on villa storage.
People moving closer to the city center
For families moving from Büyükçekmece to a smaller home in the city, storage is a way to keep pieces that won't fit in the new home but that you don't want to part with.
Büyükçekmece Neighborhoods and Housing
In Büyükçekmece's coastal neighborhoods such as Mimarsinan, Kumburgaz, Güzelce and Kamiloba, summer home complexes and detached houses predominate. Toward the lakeshore and the district center, there are spacious apartments and gated complexes lived in year-round. In homes with gardens, the volume of belongings isn't limited to what's inside the house; garden furniture, storage rooms and items in the garage often end up on the moving list too.
When closing up a summer home, the smoothest approach is to put your belongings in storage before the season ends, in late September or early October. Once the winter rains begin, humidity rises quickly in an empty house.
A Typical Storage Process in Büyükçekmece
The following example was prepared to illustrate a situation we often encounter in Büyükçekmece.
Imagine a family closing up their summer home in Kumburgaz for the winter. During the survey in early October, the living room furniture, garden set and sun loungers are listed. Everything except the fixtures staying in the summer home is moved to storage. Over the winter, there's no worry about moisture or burglary in the empty house. In early May, when the family gives a date, the belongings are brought back and set up before the season opens.

Distance and Volume When Moving from Büyükçekmece
Büyükçekmece is far from the city center, so moving everything in a single trip with the right vehicle has a direct impact on cost. Accurately calculating the volume during the survey is even more important here: in villas and summer homes, the garden, basement and attic must also be taken into account. If you'd like a rough idea of the volume beforehand, see our guide how many m³ of storage do I need.
Büyükçekmece Household Storage Step by Step
- Initial consultation: When you fill out the form or call us, we discuss the type of items, the approximate amount and how long they'll be stored.
- Free on-site survey: Our team visits your address, measures the volume, assesses the building entrance and moving conditions, and then gives you a written quote.
- Moving day: Items are disassembled and packed, a contents list is kept with numbered boxes, and everything is transported to the warehouse.
- Storage and delivery: Your belongings are stored neatly in the warehouse; whenever you're ready, the same team brings them to your new address.
Which Type of Storage Is Right for You?
We offer two options: private room storage, which you can enter during business hours if you need frequent access, or the more economical container storage if your belongings will stay packed away for the whole period. Container access is limited and available by appointment. If you can't decide, we'll look at it together during the survey.
How Are Your Belongings Protected in Storage?
The warehouses we work with are facilities that meet standards for security, climate control and pest control. For belongings stored long term, the main risk is moisture-related mold and odor, so we recommend well-ventilated spaces for wooden furniture and textiles. If you'd like extra peace of mind, insured household storage is available.
Personal and Business Storage
We offer household goods storage for individual customers and office storage covering furniture, electronics and archives for companies. In both cases, items are picked up at the door, packed and placed in storage in numbered boxes.
