Hacienda Heights, CA

249 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Don't let its small size fool you. With an area of just over 11 square miles, Hacienda Heights is fairly sparse and spread out. Initially an agricultural town, suburban residential development started in the 1940s. The single-family housing developments at the northern slopes of Puente Hills in the 1970s attracted many educated and affluent families to the community, and the settlement has never looked back since then. Today, most of the 54,426 residents are affluent professionals with advanced degrees, pitching tent here for the community's enviable combination of good schools, low crime, six parks, opportunity to develop social ties with successful families and other finer aspects of civilization. The community ranks among the top 1% for racial diversity. See more

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