How to rent a condo w/ garage or carport in North Natomas form owner directly (Roseville: real estate)

[mingalabaa]

I currently live in a house in north Natomas. I need to move out by the end of the year as the owner is moving here. I want/need to stay in this area and started checking out apartment complex and did find a small 1 bedroom unit w/ W+D and covered parking in a nice apartment complex9I need to stay in the budget as my car insurance will be going up w/ a recent accident; also, I am barely in middle class income range.) I thought that if I can rent a condo directly from the owner, I will get more space for less money that would fit most of my bedroom furniture and not feel crowded.

How do I go about accomplishing find a condo owner ( of 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom) who rents the unit? I do not even need W+D; I just need the hookup. I do need covered parking though would prefer a garage for the safety of my car.

Any help is appreciated.

Have looked at real estate/property management websites?

Even craigslist has a bunch

From what I've researched, apartments are cheaper to rent than condos. I'd try the N. Natomas apts, and most have one covered spot. Some rent out garages for about $70/month. And craigslist.com is your best bet for finding the info you need.

I did but I didn't do a good search and so I did just now. It seems there are more condos in Roseville than in Natomas, especially 1 bedroom type.
Thanks

I did search the apartment. After I set my mind on Miramante & Trovas since they have small 1 bedroom unit in my price range (I can upgrade as well in the middle of the lease), the review I read were discouraging - people complain about the staff and how leaky water heater was not fixed promptly, etc.- though my experience when visiting the leasing office was great.

I just did some search on CL and saw only one 1 bedroom condo for $950. The ad didn't say the sq ft. No phone number to contact. Two bedroom runs about $1100 and so I think it is cheaper than apartment.
