14 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Outdoor recreation is king in Longview. The town is fairly bereft of shopping, dining, and nightlife attractions, so for big city amenities, you’ll have to commute the 50-or-so miles to Portland. However, Longview is the gateway to Mount Saint Helens, so both you and the local economy benefit from this proximity. Additionally, the City of Longview has several well-maintained parks with dog friendly hiking and biking trails, including the popular Lake Sacajawea Park.

The Cowlitz River separates Longview from Kelso. The city center and industrial park are both located along the Cowlitz. However, some luxury townhomes and condominiums have recently gone up along the riverfront. These buildings frequently have studio apartments and furnished apartments for rent, as well as tons of amenities, such as a gym, swimming pool, and clubhouse. Two bedroom apartments for rent in these buildings are fairly expensive, typically going for $1,300 - $1,700.

Outside of the new development in the city center, you’ll find most of the best housing in the northwest portion of town near the Coal Creek and Longview Heights communities. Here, there are many apartments for rent, as well as rental homes. The southwest portion of town also has some inexpensive apartments in, desirable neighborhoods, particularly in the area surrounding Lake Sacajawea. These neighborhoods tend to be quieter and more suburban in feel. Two bedroom rental properties here generally range from $500 - $700.

Pet friendly apartments will vary by owner and location. For instance, several of the new riverfront developments allow cats and small dogs, while rental homes in the northwest are less inclined to allow pets. It’s not impossible to secure a rental for you and your four-legged friend, just allow yourself plenty of time to find it.

Longview 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.
