"To the right in the broad corn field mowed to stubble, two roadrunners jerk their Mohawk heads and glare. Geese arrive around 5 p.m., swinging from sky weighted bells in wings slings lowering great feathers spreading tawny webbed feet lightly on earth...." - I Send Prayers Out by Jimmy Santiago Baca
South Valley, located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, is an unincorporated zone on the southern side of the Albuquerque metro area. It straddles both sides of the Rio Grande in a gently sloping valley to the west of I-25 and Kirkland Air Force Base--doesn't that just put your mind at ease? Just about 42,000 people live in the 30 square miles designated as South Valley, with more occupying farmland on the edges. The entire region breathes the interfaces between nature, history, and humanity. But don't worry, it's not all cornstalks and alfalfa fields here. See more
South 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.
