Imperial, CA 14 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Best-selling author John Ross Browne (1871)

Since Browne made his early travel notes, the Imperial Valley has changed significantly, not least because of the water diverted into it from the Colorado. The internationally renowned engineer George Chaffey formed the Imperial Land Company, which undertook this extensive irrigation project and meant that ultimately the valley could be settled. As well as the cities of Imperial and Calexico, the towns of Brawley and Heber were founded as a result of the early twentieth century development. Today, the recreation facilities close to Imperial transform the desert into a popular tourist destination. The city is well served by the nearby Imperial County Airport, which offers frequent scheduled services to both Burbank and San Diego. Imperial covers an area of just under six square miles and it lies only about a twenty minute drive to the international border. You won't be surprised to learn that, because of its location so far south, the city enjoys a hot and desert-like climate. View Imperial City Guide

Imperial 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.
