City Guide for Fairmont, WV

Greetings, Fairmont, West Virginia apartment hunters, and welcome to apartmentlist.com, the virtual headquarters for all your leasing needs! A scenic and historic little city situated on the banks of the Monongahela River, Fairmont is one of the Mountain State’s most affordable and eclectic little communities. Are you looking to score a super sweet apartment for rent in Fairmont? Better yet, are you ready for those country roads to take you home, to the place where you belong? You bet your John ...

Are you a bargain hunter in need of a cheap apartment in Fairmont? You’re in luck, amigo, because the average apartment rental in “The Friendly City” goes for a mere $500. Even luxury apartments and spacious (1,000-plus square foot) rental homes (which may include a patio, balcony, swimming pool, furnished interiors, covered parking, and other cool stuff) rarely cost more than $800. Vacancies, fortunately, are inevitable at Fairmont, West Virginia rental properties (nearly 15 percent of all residences are currently unoccupied). Obviously, renting prices aren’t set in stone in such a desirable renter’s market as Fairmont, meaning you can afford to haggle with property managers for the best deals on apartments and townhomes.

Fairmont isn’t a prototypical college town per se, but with nearly 8,000 Fairmont State University students residing there, there’s definitely a strong collegiate vibe to parts of the city. Students will be glad to know that a variety of campus area apartments are readily available in the $450-$600 range. Most leases are good for an entire year, although apartment managers are often willing to negotiate short-term lease deals as well. Just be sure to bring along the apartment hunting basics when you’re ready to submit a leasing application in Fairmont (proof of income, banking info, a blank check to pay for the meager security deposit most landlords charge, and a list of previous residences).

Wondering which part of Fairmont may be best for you and yours? There really isn’t much distinction between the handful of neighborhoods in the city, as they’re all pretty safe, quiet, and family-friendly. Still, be sure to visit in advance to see whether or not the city looks and feels like you cup of tea. If you’re looking for a fast-paced boomtown bristling with hustle and bustle, you’re likely to be underwhelmed by much of the Mountain State. If, on the other hand, you appreciate plenty of peace, quiet, and open space, you’ll soon be feeling right at home in “The Friendly City.”

Best of luck and happy hunting! View Fairmont City Guide

What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with garages in Fairmont, WV

Fairmont 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.
