This 1-bedroom apartment is on the main floor, with windows
facing
mostly to the south. Click the links in this sentence for photos of the
living
room, kitchen, and bedroom.
The kitchen (it's the original kitchen of this big old farmhouse, which
was
converted into apartments many years ago) has one of those neat, old
fashioned sinks that runs the full length of the wall and has a
built-in porcelain finish countertop. The
bedroom has a very large closet, and there's a second one in the
hallway between the bedroom and bath. Newly remodeled shower. Gas
range. 3.5 blocks to the UW Classroom
Building; 2
blocks
to supermarket, shopping, and a huge laundromat. Internet service from LARIAT.NET is
available in this building at a 25% discount with free installation;
service can be up and running the day you move in. Because utilities
are
included, this is a better value than most of the one bedroom units
we've seen
advertised in Laramie. E-mail
or call 307-761-2895 to see or rent it today. |

This two bedroom basement apartment is comfortable and conveniently located, and the rent includes utilities so that you don't have to worry about paying deposits and multiple bills. 4.5 blocks to UW Classroom Building (closer than the dorms!); 3 blocks to supermarket; 2 blocks to restaurants and cybercafe; 3 blocks to downtown; 2 blocks to post office; less than 1/2 block to a big, clean laundromat. Big refrigerator. New range. Free basic Internet service included. Click on the links in this sentence for pictures of the living room/dining room and east bedroom. (The west bedroom is similar; it has about the same amount of floor space but has a very large, deep closet.) We've also posted a floorplan that shows the layout of the rooms. This unit is particularly economical because it includes utilities, which can be expensive if paid separately for a 2 bedroom unit. Split this unit with a roommate and you'll each pay $330 per month for rent and energy. It's nearly impossible to find a good place to live in Laramie for less! Call 307-761-2895 or e-mail to see it today. |

This main floor three bedroom Laramie apartment is close to campus and has W/D hookups, cavernous living room with picture window. Eat-in kitchen has gas stove with electronic ignition. Bath has convenient stall shower, full length mirror, linen storage cabinet. Building has off-street parking. Wheelchair accessible via snow resistant "grip-strut" steel ramp with 1:12 slope and direct access to parking. Ample storage. Bedrooms are at three corners of the unit to ensure maximum quiet and privacy. (Click here for floor plan.) The third bedroom can also be used as a study, office, or dining room. Bike racks outside. 4 blocks to UW Classroom Building; 2 to supermarket, restaurants, shopping. If you don't have a washer and dryer to hook up, or want extra kitchen space where they would sit, there's a convenient laundromat 2 blocks away. Free basic Internet service included. Click here for more information about the building. Because one of the bedrooms is on the small side, we're pricing this unit lower than most 3 bedroom, above ground units you'll find on the market. Split it with two roommates and it's $340 per bedroom per month -- that's less with utilities than is being asked for some 3 bedroom units without utilities! (Remember, the winter utility bills for a 3 bedroom apartment can run as high as several hundred dollars.) Or split it with one other person, pay less than you would for two separate one bedroom apartments, and use the third bedroom as an office or study room. This unit always goes quickly, so call soon at 307-761-2895 for a tour. |

convenient
rentals in Laramie. It's a whole house (except for the
basement, which has a small, separately rented apartment with its own
entrance) with lots of amenities not found in other Laramie rentals.
Spend summer and fall days on this large front porch
and use it for entertaining. Large living room
and dining room with oak built-ins. Large kitchen
with new range and nearly new refrigerator. Recreation/mud room. Washer
and dryer included.
Attached garage provides ample storage. (Similarly
sized
garages in Laramie rent for $250 or more per month all by themselves.)
Garden with
chokecherry trees.
Driveway has off-street parking for two cars. 4.5 blocks to UW
Classroom Building (closer than the dorms!); 3 to supermarket; 2 to
restaurants and cybercafe; 3 to downtown; 2 to post office. Click the
links in this sentence to see
floorplans of the main and second floors. What makes this unit a great
deal is that the rent includes
gas and electricity, which can be very expensive for such a big
house -- especially in winter. Free
basic Internet service included. Call 307-761-2895 to see this

If you are a student, staff, or faculty at UW,
you'll
be especially glad to know that all of our units are closer to the
University
of Wyoming Classroom Building than any of the University's own
dormitories
or apartment complexes. Being able to get to campus quickly without
driving
is a key requirement, because the University has eliminated the
179 convenient parking spaces which once surrounded Prexy's
Pasture
(the main quadrangle that contains most of the school's academic
buildings) and adjacent to the Classroom Building.
It has also eliminated parking to build a new Information Technology
facility near the Fine Arts building, to add space to buildings near
the Wyoming Union, and to build new buildings on the north side of
campus. This has created an acute shortage of parking on campus. A
promised
parking garage hasn't materialized, and University officials have
lobbied the Legislature not to allocate funds for one, indicating that
they are likely to renege altogether on their promises to build one.
Commuters
driving to UW are forced to park in distant lots far
east
or south of the core campus, or to pay for the privilege of parking in
closer ones. "Express"
shuttle buses deliver passengers from the eastern lot (but, ironically,
not
the paid lots) to only two locations on campus: the Union and the
Classroom Building. (You may wait as long as 15
minutes to catch the one that goes to the Classroom Building -- and
this doesn't include transit time.) There's
another
shuttle
route that goes to more locations from the eastern lot, but it takes a
full 30 minutes to
circle
campus. The southern lot has only one bus route, which runs only to the
Union and not to the Classroom Building. And the buses to the southern
lot stop running at 6 PM.
UW has also raised fees for parking permits to unprecedented levels. (Faculty and staff members asked the University for a reduced rate for employees with salaries less than $30,000 per year, but the University refused.) This means that many of these employees will contend with students for on-street parking near campus. Another surprise: Previously, parking permits weren't required during the summer when the campus is not crowded. But under its new policy, the University requires them all year long.
Finally, the lack of much needed on campus parking infrastructure has driven students, faculty, and staff to hunt for parking on the streets surrounding campus, causing problems for the residents of those neighborhoods. In response to this, the City of Laramie has enlarged the area where parking can be restricted to residents with permits. This means that commuters who try to park on the street near classes will have a difficult time finding a spot.
Bottom line: If you're at UW, it truly pays to live
close
by and bike or walk to avoid the parking crunch... and that's where we
can help.
All of our units are close to campus. In fact, as we've already
mentioned, every one is closer to the UW Classroom Building, the
Pharmacy
School, and many other UW academic buildings than UW's own dorms.
They're also much closer to groceries, the Laramie post office,
downtown, video rental, and a wide variety of restaurants (burritos, bagels, pizza, coffeehouses, and more). Rent with
us, and you won't have to worry about hostile parking policies.
We pride ourselves on being attentive, tenant-friendly rental managers and taking good care of the properties we manage; after all, our tenants are our neighbors! We advocated the passage of the new Wyoming Landlord/Tenant Act when many landlords opposed it. We always require a lease, as this protects both you and us. Our leases are written in plain English with no "fine print." The security deposit is equal to the monthly rent. We ask that you pay the security deposit on or before the date when you sign the lease, and the first month's (or partial month's) rent upon occupancy. (Unlike some Laramie rental managers, we don't ask for the last month's rent until the beginning of the last month.)
Due to market conditions in Laramie, all lease terms must end between May 15th and August 15th. We regret that we cannot sign a lease that ends outside this period. All leases must have a fixed term; we cannot rent month-to-month.
Each of our units contains a stove, refrigerator,
and
oven. If an apartment is rented "furnished," it contains a full
complement
of furniture but not hotel-like amenities such as linens,
dishes,
and silverware. If you rent a furnished unit, please expect to use the
furniture
that's provided. Due to limited storage space and the difficulty of
moving
furniture around, we can't remove furniture from a furnished unit.
We favor quiet, serious tenants who do not create
disturbances or violate laws or ordinances. Wyoming law makes it a
crime for a rental manager or owner to allow underage drinking or use
of illegal drugs on the premises. Therefore, our lease does prohibit
large, noisy or open parties, gatherings at which minors consume
alcohol or illegal drugs, or illegal activity of any kind.
For more information, or to arrange to see a unit by
appointment,
e-mail us from the mail
page. This is often even faster than calling on the phone! And
always
check this page for the latest information on rental availability.
Uncaged pets require an additional pet deposit and will be allowed only with a reference from the manager or owner of a previous rental property where the pet has lived. (Sorry, but the reference must be an impartial third party and not a friend or relative.) Your pet must be mature, as we can't afford to provide the training ground for young animals. Also, the animal must not prevent us from entering the premises in an emergency to make repairs, so we cannot accept large or territorial dogs. Because we want to maintain attractive properties with good landscaping, our lease requires that dogs be walked off the premises, rather than merely being let out the door to do their business in the garden or chained outside. Laramie has a leash law and requires that owners pick up after their pets.
Bona fide, trained service animals used by blind and/or disabled individuals (e.g. Seeing Eye dogs) are, of course, allowed on the premises. However, we do ask that their owners be considerate of tenants with allergies.
We do allow most caged rodents, reptiles, fish, and other animals that are permanently confined to a cage or tank, though we need to know that they'll be there, approve them, and note them on the lease. (We wouldn't want to turn off the power to do repairs, for example, without knowing that a tank of tropical fish depended upon the electricity to survive.) We also ask that, if the enclosure is made of wire, precautions be taken to protect floors and floor coverings from objects ejected through the bars. Usually, this simply means covering the floor around a bird cage or putting a rodent cage in a plastic tub.
Unfortunately, if you have more than one uncaged pet, you will have difficulty finding a rental unit that is in good condition in Laramie and should probably consider buying instead. Housing prices are very reasonable in Laramie, so you will likely come out ahead financially -- especially if you expect to live here for two years or more. We're not licensed brokers ourselves, but we know the local real estate community and can help you locate a reputable seller's or buyer's broker.
