5 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Cheap apartments, you’ll be glad to know, rule the roost in Stephenville, where the average rental goes for only $700, and campus area apartments are usually available for considerably less. Amenities range from basic to lavish, depending on how many greenbacks you’re willing to fork over. However, even some of the most modestly priced rentals come equipped with modern appliances, gourmet kitchens, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, gyms, clubhouses, and more. Waiting lists, fortunately, are pretty much nonexistent in Stephenville, so feel free to shop the market leisurely without worrying about the perfect apartment slipping out of your grasp. And, don’t forget to bring along proof of income, banking info, two forms of I.D., and a list of previous residences when you’re ready to submit a leasing app. Also, if you’re a student with no job, no income, no credit, and no leasing history (hey, at least you still have your dashing good looks or something), you’ll need a respectable cosigner to help seal the deal.

Planning to share room and board with a furry four-footed roommate by any chance? Sounds like you’ll be needing a pet friendly apartment in Stephenville. Fortunately, you’ll find a nice selection of pet friendly (including dogs allowed) rentals in and around town. Just be prepared to pay an extra $25 or so in rent each month (or an equivalent one-time fee) if you’re roommate is of the feline, canine, bovine, or UFO variety.

Crime rates, fortunately, are extremely low throughout the city, and violent crime is extremely rare (so don’t bother packing your bullet-proof vest). Still, like pretty much any modern city, the “Cowboy Capitol of the World” does see its fair share of petty (dare we say keg party-inspired?) crime and vandalism. Obviously, be sure to visit Stephenville in advance to see if you’re comfy with its vibes before signing a lease. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet community surrounded by open spaces, cattle, and the occasional UFO sighting, you’re better off concentrating on the rentals farther away from TSU. Likewise, if you’re a student, you might feel a bit out of place on the wide open, landowner-occupied outskirts.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time for the fun part: finding you the apartment of your dreams in Stephenville, Texas. Best of luck and happy hunting! See more

Stephenville 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.
