Valencia West can be considered the furthest and remote suburban area outside of Tucson. While it's still small today, it used to be tiny; within just 10 years, the population grew by 293 percent!
Located at the southwestern edge of Tucson, Valencia West is a remote, secluded town with a lot of western charm. This is how residents get to enjoy the desert without all the crowds. Far from the skyscrapers of most of Arizona's larger cities, those seeking to get back to the old west feel of things will find themselves right at home in this area. This is definitely for those who want to get away from it all and enjoy the things that brought settlers to this region in the first place. The wild untamed desert, cool breezes on summer nights, coyotes in the distance and the land itself await those who are willing to appreciate it. Of course, this means the search for apartments will be different here than in other, larger cities. Here you're more likely to find studio apartments for rent rather than large complexes. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Valencia West apartments offer parking options, either outside in a common area or within a private garage.
Ask about the stipulations around the parking. Those may include how many guests are allowed and where tenants park.
Some apartments may only allow parking in front of your own unit. Guest parking may be in a common area for up to one person.
If parking is scarce, look around the area before you sign a lease. Ample street parking in a neighborhood championed for its safety is probably fine. However, it’s probably not worth signing a lease if it means battling for daily parking for you and your guests.
Research whether you need a city permit to park in the neighborhood. Look into the associated costs and what to do about visitors who need parking.
Some tenants prefer garage parking near their units. However, an open-air lot may prove cheaper.
Keep in mind that the cost of wear and tear from parking outside can add up. It may be less expensive, in the long run, to look for an apartment with garage parking.
