Chalmette, LA

234 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Not really big enough to be called a town, Chalmette is technically a census-designated place (CDP) in the greater New Orleans area. Anywhere else, it would just be considered nothing more than part of NOLA. But the Big Easy is all about individual identities, so Chalmette waves its unique flag high and proudly. It's the seat of St. Bernard Parish and, as of the 2010 census, has 16,751 residents, most of whom work in New Orleans. See more

Chalmette 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.
