Painesville, OH

15 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Painesville is located about 30 miles from Cleveland and a little over five miles from Mentor. Despite this proximity, Painesville has its own quiet, friendly vibe and small town charm. However, if you find yourself getting bored in this city of about 20,000, you’re only a quick drive from much more urbane attractions.

You’ll find that Painesville is overall a safe, quiet community with fairly low instances of crime. Regardless of where you end up settling, you should find yourself pretty comfortable, and the low cost of living means there are tons and tons of cheap apartments.

So you may not have to worry about crime, but there are other dangers. Painesville was subject to a lot of flooding in 2000 that destroyed a large number of great condominiums near the Grand River. These condominiums have since been torn down to support a small forest floodplain to prevent future damage. There are still a number of great condominiums in this area available for rent and purchase, and a greater awareness of flooding trends has helped protect the remaining properties. Additionally, living in this area will put you right on the shores of Lake Erie and close to Headlands Beach State Park.

Still, if you’re afraid at all of being totally submerged during heavy rainfall, you’re going to need to look elsewhere. To the far west of the city center, near the Diamond Centre shopping, you’ll find a couple of new apartments for rent that offer everything from studios to two bedroom units. These complexes frequently offer amenities such as a clubhouse, gym, and swimming pool. Living in this neighborhood will put you in the closest proximity to both Mentor and Cleveland. Two bedrooms here generally range from $950 to $1,200.

Just south of downtown, adjacent to Lake Erie College, you’ll find a small quiet community with a few rental options available, including apartments and rental homes. As you get closer to campus you may also be able to locate rentals that offer short-term lease deals. Two bedrooms here range from $1,000 to $1,200.

East of downtown you’ll find a smattering of small apartments and rental homes in quieter neighborhoods. While these rentals may not have the most in terms of amenities, they are quite safe and generally desirable. Two bedrooms here range from $900 to $1,100.

If you’re relocating to Painesville with a four-legged pet, don’t worry! Painesville’s rental market is both cat and dog friendly. Come with some extra cash, though, because securing a pet friendly rental usually means forking over a bit extra in your deposit.

So welcome to Painesville! Enjoy all that this small Lake Erie community has to offer! See more

Painesville 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.
