Wetumpka covers just over eight square miles and is home to 6,500 residents (according to the 2010 census). Located at the spot where the southern foothills of the Appalachian Mountains meet the Gulf Coastal plain, Wetumpka is known as "The City of Natural Beauty." Settled in the 1700s, its location on the banks of the Coosa River helped it to prosper as a trading center. Today, the River is used year round for recreation, sporting events, and festivals.

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