Coalinga, CA

5 Apartments for Rent with Parking

A city occupied primarily by homeowners, Coalinga isn’t exactly overflowing with apartments for rent, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find at least a handful of high-quality rental properties in the city. Apartments in Coalinga tend to make up in quality what they lack in quantity, often coming equipped with a swimming pool, clubhouse, on-site washer and dyer, scenic views, private trails, and even playground areas for children. And, unlike rental properties in about a gazillion other California cities, apartments and townhomes in Coalinga won’t cost you an arm and a leg, a finger and a toe, or even an earlobe and an eyebrow. In fact, all it takes is between 600 to 900 dollars to score yourself a primo rental featuring all sorts of cool bells and whistles. Waiting lists are pretty much unheard of, and move-in specials pop up frequently, so don’t settle on an apartment for rent in Coalinga until you’re absolutely sure it’s right for you.

Word to the wise: Coalinga, which sits atop a particularly moody section of the San Andreas Fault line, is prone to the occasional earthquake. Don’t expect the ground under your feet to shake and grumble every day by any means, but don’t be surprised to feel the occasional mini-quake, either. Obviously, it couldn’t hurt to invest in a basic renter’s insurance policy (which usually costs no more than 20 bucks a month) that reimburses you in case your apartment falls into the center of the earth one day. Just a suggestion.

No matter what neighborhood you land in around here, you shouldn’t have to worry too terribly much about rampant crime and other such shenanigans. Still, be sure to visit the city in advance to make sure it’s right for you before deciding to call it home. Cattle tend to outnumber people about a gazillion to one in Coalinga, which has a distinct small town, middle-of-nowhere vibe. If that’s exactly what you’re looking for, you’re in luck. If, au contraire, you’re heading to Coalinga expecting to be part of a bustling metropolis, prepare to be disappointed.

Got it? Good! Now let’s get down to business and find you the perfect apartment, townhome, or house for rent in Coalinga. Best of luck and happy hunting! See more

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