Pleasant Grove, AL

160 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Smack dab in the middle of Alabama is Pleasant Grove, a small city the U.S. Census Bureau says had 10,110 people in 2010. It's a mere 8.8 square miles, so don't blink while driving through. It's tucked away approximately 10 miles east of Birmingham. To get there, take the Pleasant Grove exit off Interstate 20/59, and follow Park Road to the west. Eventually, you'll end up in the heart of Pleasant Grove, but don't look for any tall buildings. There are none! Zilch! The residents like it that way too, so don't bring any New York real estate developers with you. This is Hometown America, and its residents don't take a fancy to replacing trees with concrete.

Pleasant Grove 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.
