Tarrant, AL

171 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Tarrant is the kind of town Lynyrd Skynyrd spoke of in their iconic song "Sweet Home Alabama." Blue skies and quaint living are hallmarks of one of the South's most populated areas. Sweet tea flows in abundance and grits (a breakfast food similar to cream of wheat) is a staple on every table. That's not to say the area isn't modern. The region has enjoyed a boom in commerce that has sustained steady growth for decades. As a suburb of Birmingham, history was made as Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote one of his most important speeches nearby. Home to classic rock bands, a rich cultural history and unique cuisine, Tarrant provides a particular type of living experience. One the city itself describes as a close-knit feeling among the residents. See more

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