Hiawatha, IA

27 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Situated in Linn County, Iowa, the city of Hiawatha houses just over 7,000 people. It has however also become a suburb of the second largest city in Iowa, Cedar Rapids, along with several other towns that were incorporated as the city's borders expanded. Hiawatha may bear the name of the proud Mohawk Indian chief from the well-known Longfellow poem, but the city was actually named after the trailer company of Fay Clark. When this entrepreneur looked out over the farm fields in this area in 1945, he had a vision of a new city with a highway running through it and decided that he was going make it happen. The result we see today is a beautiful suburb-city that, just like its namesake, welcomes strangers with open arms. See more

Hiawatha apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.

Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.

It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.

Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
