62 Apartments for Rent with Washer-Dryers

While some Wikipedia-readers might call this little city a bedroom suburb of Portland, the pastel-colored landscapes of protected forests and vineyards, the historic atmosphere, and the college culture create an energy all its own. Locals describe their village community as laid back, enriching, rejuvenating, and picturesque. Downtown is full of amazing little eateries, wineries, shops, art galleries, and live music. Getting where you need to go couldn't be more enjoyable and relaxing. With a system of parks, trails, and forests all connected in a city of just 4.7 square miles, this city has got to be one of the most walkable places you will ever live in. And, the great outdoors are even greater around here, with hiking, biking, boating, horseback riding, swimming, and all things natural within minutes of downtown. It is called Forest Grove, after all.

Forest Grove is also home to one of the largest giant sequoia trees in the state, a must-hug for all you tree-hugging renters out there. It's truly a charmed life, and the rental rates around here aren't too bad either. Typical housing costs range from $600 to over $2,000 a month. There are cheap apartments, gorgeous townhomes, new suburban houses, and some very old Victorians and farmhouses.

Apartment-dwellers enjoy long lists of amenities in the apartment communities of Forest Grove. Things like 24-hour maintenance, laundry facilities, playgrounds, swimming pools, and free tanning beds are a big plus. Some units also come with their very own washer and dryer. Those on the look out for rental homes will also be pleased with some very surprising amenities, such as fruit trees, manicured lawns, flowering plants, and historic architecture.

Pet owners will be happy to know that most of the property rentals around here are very pet-friendly. Apartments and rental homes alike proudly advertise "cat friendly" and "dog friendly" in their property listings. Even big dogs can find a good home. However, be prepared to pay a pretty penny for your furry family members. Pet fees typically add up to about $400 a pet, and some places charge an additional pet rent around $20 a month.

That's about all there is to it. Now, it's time to scroll through those listings and find the perfect new place to call home. Enjoy!

Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Forest Grove offers more freedom and flexibility to your weekends. Throwing in the laundry before work or a Saturday afternoon bike ride and finishing it up later is inconvenient, if not impossible, without your own set-up.

There are a few things to keep in mind while looking for apartments with a washer and dryer in Forest Grove. Ask how old the appliances are before you sign. A washer and dryer over 10-years-old may need to be serviced regularly or have an expired warranty. You should also ask the property management who services the washer and dryer. Some leases stipulate that the landlord will pay for repairs to an essential appliance like oven or refrigerator, but require the tenant to service the washer and dryer.

Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Forest Grove can go quickly, so come prepared with your bank statements, pay stubs, identification, and letters of recommendation to sign your new lease.
