Not Just for Cars — 7 Reasons You Need a Garage with Your Twin Cities Apartment

When looking for a luxury apartment home in the Twin Cities, you give a lot of consideration to yourself and your precious pets. But what about your poor car? Motor vehicles need some love too.

Here are seven reasons why a garage should be on your wish list of amenities in your Twin Cities luxury apartment home.

1. Come Rain or Come Shine

Murphy's Law says that you can count on rain rolling in as soon as you wash your car. Beat Mother Nature by parking your car in a garage, where it's protected from rain, snow, sun and other weather elements. And really, who likes starting the day scraping ice off a windshield?

If you have an attached garage, there's an added bonus. You can move from home to car and back again without dodging raindrops or dealing with other inclement weather.

2. Protect Your Investment

Sadly, thieves and prowlers are a fact of life, no matter where you live. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your car is locked safely away from such risks. It also means an end to worrying about removing items from your car each day to avoid providing temptation.

3. No More Dings

Remember when you got your driver's license and your parents warned you about other drivers? That still holds true. No matter how careful you are, you can't anticipate what other drivers will do. Keeping your car in a garage is a great defense against dings, dents and fender benders.

4. Guaranteed VIP Parking

Parking lots operate on a first-come-first-served basis, which means you take your chances on finding a good spot every time you leave home. With a garage, you no longer have to face that hunt for a parking spot when you return.

5. Reduce Your Insurance Premiums

Your insurance company may offer a lower premium if your car is stored in a garage. With the money you save, the garage may pay for itself.

6. Stretch Your Storage

There's no such thing as too much storage space. A garage is an ideal place to store items that aren't frequently used, such as tools or seasonal decorations.

7. Personal Workspace

Do you enjoy arts and crafts, woodworking or other DIY projects? Indulge your creative spirit with less muss and fuss by using your garage as a workspace.
