Notes -
Not quite post-apoc, but there's Snow Crash, where the Protagonist spends most of his Metaverse time connected from the 20x30 storage unit where he and his roommate live.
I wonder how well most storage units would hold up, post-apocalypse. The climate controlled ones would lose that control when the grid goes down, and anybody paying a premium for climate control probably has something they expect to decay at ambient temperatures+humidity, but nobody's going to get a second unit for more robust possessions so even the climate controlled units would still be worth cracking open to see what survived.
This is now even less related to the Apocalypse, but your comment reminded me of jPod, in which a secondary character tried to save for retirement Beanie Babies-style. Once, when he was visiting his storage unit, power went off and he ended up locked inside with his precious collectible cans of soda. By the time he was found, he had already had to drink them all.
