Zip Codes
Alamo, California, gets its name from a Spanish word. The word alamo means "poplar" (yes, the tree) in Spanish. There are many poplar trees that line the San Ramon Creek
Call Alamo, California, an unincorporated community or even call it a census-designated place, but don't call it a city. Technically, it just isn't one. This suburban community in Contra Costa County spans a little more than 9.5 square miles and is called home by around 14,750 residents (2010 U.S. Census). Alamo is far from a new community, as it was settled more than 5,000 years ago. Today, it's the very definition of suburbia, with lots of greenery, gossiping locals, and board members who decide just how long you're allowed to let your lawn grow. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Alamo 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.
