Sebastopol, CA

54 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Located about an hour north of San Francisco, near California's popular wine country, about 7,000 residents call this small city nestled between Bodega Bay and Santa Rosa home. Once a plum and apple growing region, wine grapes now reign supreme here. Despite the agricultural switch from orchards to vineyards, Sebastopol is still home to the annual Apple Blossom Festival and Gravenstein Apple Fair. No one is sure from where Sebastopol's name harkens. One story tells of a bar fight in the late 1850s, which was likened to the long siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War. Must have been quite a brawl. See more

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