11 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Indiana, Pennsylvania, has no connection to the state of Indiana. (California, Jersey Shore, Beverly Hills, and Moscow are among the other Pennsylvania towns with far-reaching names.) This small borough, with 1.8 square miles and 14,000 residents, is located 55 miles northeast of Pittsburgh in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains.

From this picturesque setting, Indiana offers its residents a mix of small-town and big-city life. Indiana County's rails and trails system is one of the best in Pennsylvania, with more than 64 miles of trails, 12 miles of single track mountain bike trails and more than 5,000 acres of parkland. Skiing, swimming and fishing are other popular activities in the area. See more

Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Indiana 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.
