9 Apartments for rent in Ripon, CA with parking

It may be relatively small, but Ripon boasts a charming selection of highly advantageous amenities for residents, from parks and annual festivals to low crime and affordable living. But another great feature of this "Jewel of the Valley" is the historic downtown area, about four or five blocks in total, with buildings still standing that were built in the early 20th century and a quaint, small-town feel. Once extremely agricultural and undeveloped, Ripon has grown tremendously in the last few decades and now includes normal suburban niceties like movie theaters, grocery stores and coffee shops. The real glory here is the produce, though. Central Valley is the breadbasket not only for California, but most of the country too. Expect to hit farmers markets and produce stands regularly, and enjoy some of the freshest and most delicious foods you've ever chewed. See more

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