River Rouge, MI

155 Apartments for Rent with Garages

River Rouge, Michigan, is named after the river that cuts through it -- Rouge River (although the name is inverted just to show a stroke of uniqueness). It is situated right at the mouth of the Detroit River, so the town has one of the most spectacular views in Michigan. The weather in River Rouge and the weather here is nothing short of sporadic and unpredictable. The locals often refer to River Rouge's weather pattern as 'wild' -- and it most certainly is. In the summer, one week the temperature will be in the mid-80s, then suddenly it will reach the 100s the next. The winters are the same, but surprisingly many of the residents here enjoy the unpredictable weather since it adds a whiff of excitement to the city. See more

River Rouge 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.
