It's a little town with a varied history: Agriculture, gold, oil, lakes and dogs. But, even though it is the sixth-largest city in the state, Wasilla would never have become a household word had it not been for Sarah Palin.
Although she served as Wasilla's mayor from 1996 to 2002, Palin would probably not have stepped on the national stage either had it not been for her selection as running mate to candidate John McCain in his 2008 bid for the presidency. But she did -- step onto that stage, that is -- and Wasilla came along for the ride. Now the city has returned to its former status as a bedroom community to Anchorage, Alaska's state capital, even though there was a time its residents held capital aspirations of their own. In fact, in 1994, a statewide initiative to move the statehouse was defeated by only 20,000 votes. See more
Wasilla 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.
