Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Tired of trying to find out what the cape is all about? Tired of running around town like a chicken with its head cut off? Well, slow down there, because we've got the scoop on Cape Girardeau and everything this little city has to offer.

Situated on the lazy old Mississippi River, and surrounded by hundreds of miles of rural America, the cape is a place where college culture gets country fried. It’s a place where the Big Muddy turns a thousand tales, where the railroad tracks run along 18,000 feet historical murals, and where Civil-war era buildings dot the streets. No, no one has ever accused this little southeastern Missouri hub of being cute, or being some sort of touristy waterfront paradise. It is a hometown to be proud of, though, with its own downtown circus of antique shops, riverfront taverns, live music, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

The budget-minded renter will be happy to know that apartments here are very affordable. Whether it's a studio apartment, a spacious loft, a fashionable flat, or a townhome big enough to raise a family in, you’ll rarely see a rental for more than $750. Most complexes offer 1 and 2 bedroom apartments in the $400-$600 range. Those looking for a rental with 3 or more bedrooms will need search for houses for rent, though, since most apartments come with only 1 and 2 bedroom floor plans.

Wondering about amenities? Well, there are some great rentals in town for the amenity-minded. With apartment features such as resort-style pools, Jacuzzi's, clubhouses, workout rooms, game rooms, movie theaters and media centers, there are places with enough activities to entertain even the most restless renters. Cape La Croix Apartments are a popular place to stay, with all the amenities above, plus a fun community where people get together for volleyball games in the swimming pool, tournaments on the pool table, some good old BBQ get-togethers, as well as other organized apartment events.

Renting apartments can be frustrating for those who want to bring a dog along, especially if your pet weighs more than 30 lbs. Weight limits and breed restrictions are common, so be sure to contact your potential property about their pet policy before making anything official. You can expect a pretty hefty pet deposit, too, typically costing around $300. Thankfully, it’s partially refundable.

Around these parts, all you have to worry about are a few wild college students and getting a little sand in your eyes when the wind kicks up.

Still craving some local insights? Well, just walk through downtown and you will find plenty of people ready to tell you a story about their city, their neighborhood, or maybe about that time they kicked it with Rush Limbaugh. So, get on out there and start living your new life on the Big Muddy.
