"I wanna be your kingpin, Living in Pekin, I wanna be your bigwig, Living in Pekin" (-- Wilco, "Kingpin")
Not to be confused with the city in China, Pekin, Illinois has a small-town feel yet offers pretty much everything you need to live well. It is popular with families and people who like the rural ambiance. Just don’t expect a whole lot of action here, or even in neighboring Peoria. For that, you’ll need to make the two-hour trek to Chicago or St. Louis. View Pekin City Guide
Pekin 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.
