San Anselmo, CA

92 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Most small towns want to grow into a city because that brings money into government coffers and increases residential services. Not San Anselmo. The residents and officials of this incorporated town are dead set against such intrusive growth with a mission to "maintain a small town ambiance." Cultural attractions are strictly small-scale: music and theater in the park, a historical museum, and library. But historical downtown shopping, tree-covered hills, and lots of green spaces make this locale one of the most desirable places to live in Marin County. See more

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