Citrus, CA

102 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Located along I-210, also called the Foothill Freeway, it's home to over 10,800 people (per 2010 U.S. Census data) in neighborhoods on both sides of the freeway. It's all developed land and very much a part of the Los Angeles megalopolis. While there is little to distinguish Citrus from the areas around it, the community is a good place to live. Set virtually in the middle of the upper metro, it's about the same distance to Santa Monica and San Bernardino -- of course, travel time depends to a great deal on what time of day you are trying to get to either one of them! Notorious L.A. traffic aside, Citrus is convenient to Pasadena, Glendale, and Burbank as well. The Big Dalton Wash flows through town, but like most L.A. area waterways, it's a concrete-lined trickle most of the time and a torrent when it rains hard in the mountains. See more

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