170 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Situated on the confluence of the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers, McKeesport is an excellent place for fishers, boaters, and river-floaters to rejoice in the beauty of a water-fueled community. This is a city where you can park your boat at a marina, hop off for a picnic, enjoy a little music and dancing, and then return to your floatable sanctuary on the water for a little R&R. Off the water, can find plenty of other fun and interesting things, such as a show at the Renzie Park band shell, or a hike along the Great Allegheny Passage (which, by the way, you can hike and bike along all the way to Washington D.C.!). It's an interesting and ever-evolving city, and it can all be experienced at very cheap rates. Rentals typically cost about $400 - $650, giving you tons of options at cheap, cheap prices. There are old apartments in small brick buildings, duplexes, deckers, as well as rental homes, all for less than $700!

Since most apartments in McKeesport are housed in old brick buildings and homes, there aren’t many community extras for renters around here. There are no apartment buildings with swimming pools or fitness centers. In fact, the most you can expect amenity-wise is a place to park, a place to sleep, and a place to do laundry.

Looking for a pet friendly property rental? Well, it may take a little extra legwork, but they do exist around here. Pet friendly apartments, and especially dog friendly apartments, are little harder to come by. And, if you do find one, then you can expect to pay both a pet deposit and a monthly pet rent, which could have you paying hundreds of dollars to bring along the dog. So, whether your pets are part of the family or you just can't say no to those puppy eyes, be prepared to pay for it.

Those are all the tips and tricks you need to find the perfect new rental in McKeesport. Best of luck on the home hunt!

McKeesport 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.
