Newberg, OR 323 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Just 25 miles from Portland, Newberg is a beautiful, 'burby, boutique-y, wine country, coffee shop-saturated Christian college town. The area is full of natural aesthetics, from the orchards to the parks to the golf course to the Willamette River, this area is just teeming with pleasant and colorful surprises. It's a charmed life for local Newbergians, however, Newberg commuters to the Portland area will have to deal with some terribly tedious traffic.

A couple decades ago, this area was just farm country with little need for big highways. But, things change. Sigh. Portland's suburbs are starting to grow suburbs of their own, and traffic conditions along the major routes and back roads are now equally frustrating. Just 25 miles can easily take an hour or more to drive, especially during tourist season. If you plan on working or playing in Portland, be prepared for traffic jams ahead of you.

Rental rates are all over the place. You can find cheap apartments for just $500, larger affordable apartments for $700 - $900, rental homes ranging from $600 to over $2,500, as well as a few retirement community rentals that cost over $4,000 a month. There are neighborhoods geared towards retirees, though they really aren't too far from the young families and students that live around George Fox University. Low income and high income, college students and families, old and young, people of all types live right next to each other around here. Cheap apartments and luxury rental homes can be found in the same neighborhood, the same block even. It's a nice mix that keeps things interesting, yet pleasant and safe.

What kind of amenities can you expect in this rental market? Well, not many, unless you’re 65 or better and living in a retirement community (in which case, you're amenities are endless!). Most apartment buildings are smaller with just basic extras such as laundry facilities, storage, and parking. In a city like this, you won't need the apartment communities to serve as entertainment. Find a place next to the golf course, near the wineries, backing up to a park, or in downtown for the best amenities right at your doorstep.

Looking for a pet friendly rental? Well, you’re in luck. There are plenty of apartment rentals that are cat friendly, as well as few rental homes that are dog friendly. Dog friendly rentals sometimes take a diligent home hunter, though. If you can't find any dog friendly rental properties in our listings, try checking the local classifieds to find a dog-friendly landlord.

Now that you've done your homework, we reckon you're ready to become a local Newbergian. It's truly beautiful country that you’re sure to fall head-over-heels in love with. Best of luck out there!

Newberg 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.
