Moses Lake, WA

10 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Located over 100 miles from the nearest big(ish) cities, Kennewick and Yakima, Moses Lake kind of feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, because, well, it is. Since this city of about 20,000 is the largest for miles and miles (and miles), you’ll find all the necessities in terms of shopping and dining right at your doorstep. Don’t expect too much in terms of nightlife here, however. This place can get pretty quiet after hours.

What it lacks in indoor attractions, it makes up for in greater outdoor recreation. The city has a number of parks with sports facilities and picnic areas. With over 120 miles of shoreline, the lake is wonderful for fishing and boating. Wildlife lovers will enjoy the Columbia Basin Wildlife Area at the Potholes Reservoir Unit, and two hours from the city, you can enjoy a lovely day trip to the beautiful Wenatchee National Forest.

The good news is that there are tons of options in terms of apartments for rent in Moses Lake, and the low cost of living means that you'll find cheap apartments galore. The bad news is that Moses Lake’s high crime statistics leave much to be desired in terms of safety. However, with plenty of time to secure a rental, you’ll be sure to find something in a safe, pleasant area.

North of downtown and just across a small finger of the lake, you’ll find a couple of new developments near the Paul Lauzier Memorial Park. These apartments for rent are in a safe location and have great amenities, including clubhouses and onsite laundry facilities. Additionally, they offer everything from studio apartments to three bedrooms with short-term lease deals. South of downtown you’ll also find a number of condominiums and townhomes located on the lakefront. Two bedrooms in these areas range from $600 to $800.

Heading north above the lake, you’ll also find a few apartments for rent in the area surrounding the Grant County International Airport. Prices in this area reflect the slight inconvenience associated with being farther from the city center and having to deal with airport noise. Two bedrooms here range from $550 to $700.

East of the lake, you’ll find a quieter, more suburban-feeling area with a few rentals available. A couple of apartment complexes here offer affordable one and two bedrooms, and there are a number of rental homes available as well. Two bedrooms here range from $600 to $800.

If you’re relocating to Moses Lake with a four-legged friend, you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating a pet friendly rental. About half of the apartments for rent are both cat and dog friendly, though some may require an additional pet deposit.

So welcome to Moses Lake! Enjoy all that this scenic, outdoorsy Washington city has to offer! See more

Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Moses Lake apartments offer parking options, either outside in a common area or within a private garage.

Ask about the stipulations around the parking. Those may include how many guests are allowed and where tenants park.

Some apartments may only allow parking in front of your own unit. Guest parking may be in a common area for up to one person.

If parking is scarce, look around the area before you sign a lease. Ample street parking in a neighborhood championed for its safety is probably fine. However, it’s probably not worth signing a lease if it means battling for daily parking for you and your guests.

Research whether you need a city permit to park in the neighborhood. Look into the associated costs and what to do about visitors who need parking.

Some tenants prefer garage parking near their units. However, an open-air lot may prove cheaper.

Keep in mind that the cost of wear and tear from parking outside can add up. It may be less expensive, in the long run, to look for an apartment with garage parking.
