"If I thought I was going to die tomorrow, I should nevertheless plant a tree today." -- Stephen Girard, founder of Girard, OH
Girard is a small town in Trumbull County, Ohio, with just under 10,000 residents. Yep, it's tiny! Founded in 1800, Girard was an even tinier community until the Ohio and Erie Canal was completed in the 1830s. Despite its incredibly small population, there are tons of community amenities and attractions all around town. And they'll probably never be crowded because not too many people live here! Some important people have lived here, though; Mel Triplett, a professional American football player, was a Girard community member before his death in 2002. See more
Girard 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.
