Garages you can rent at The Oaks
Most apartments make you fight for a parking spot. The Oaks has a row of private garages you can rent, and resident-only parking for everyone else.
A private garage, not a shared structure
The garages at The Oaks are individual, private units, rented separately from your apartment when one is open. They are not a shared parking deck; the garage you rent is yours. In an Iowa winter that is the real value: your car stays off the ice, and you leave on time instead of scraping a windshield in the dark.

Resident-only parking either way
If you would rather park outside, the lot is resident-only, so the spaces belong to the people who live here. A garage is the upgrade, not the only option.
Ask what is open
Garages rent as they come free, so availability moves. Call the leasing office at 515-895-4020 for the current rate and what is open today. The Oaks is renovated one- and two-bedroom apartments, one bath, with a new kitchen, a redone bath, new flooring and fresh paint, and a stove and refrigerator in every home; select homes add a washer and dryer in the unit. Live pricing is on the availability page.
