On the property
Garages you can rent
A row of private garages on site, rented separately from your apartment. In an Iowa winter that is the difference between leaving on time and scraping your windshield in the dark.
- Private, individual garages, not a shared structure
- Rented separately from your apartment when one is open
- Resident-only parking on the lot if you would rather park outside
- Call for the current rate and what is open today
