Sudden Valley, WA 76 Apartments for Rent with Garages

The former ranch set in the hills along the southwest shores of Washington's Lake Whatcom is now a fairly secluded private area that is overseen by a homeowner's association. With the lake to the northwest and forested hills to the south and west, there's not much really close by to disturb that seclusion. If you're looking for a town with a happening nightlife, this isn't it! Of course, the much bigger city of Bellingham borders Sudden Valley to the northwest and it's just a hop, skip, and jump across the border to Vancouver, British Columbia. A little bit more than a hop -- about 90 minutes -- to the south and you are in Seattle. Close to 7,000 people call this peaceful little burg home. Whether lakeside or in the hills, this is an idyllic place to settle. View Sudden Valley City Guide

Sudden Valley 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.
