Oconomowoc, WI

9 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Only in Wisconsin would a town of 13,000 be called a city, but that's how they classify Oconomowoc. It's basically a Mayberry in the Midwest, with a really hard to say name. People come here for the peaceful, quiet, rural life, or to raise their families. In terms of man-made stuff there's not much to do besides schools, a library, some shopping and a few restaurants, but if you like to take advantage of the splendor of the outdoors, it's a great place to settle down and explore the beauty of Wisconsin Lakes and Forests. Also, it's just a hop skip and a jump away from both Madison and Lake Michigan -- so there's always something to do nearby if you get too bored. See more

Oconomowoc 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.
