111 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Sitting at an elevation of just under 8,000 feet along the Roaring Fork River, in a remote part of the Sawatch and Elk Mountains, this hard to reach and isolated part of the Colorado Rockies was founded by an adventurous group of miners. Established in 1879, Aspen quickly became a boomtown after emerging as the United State's most productive silver-mining district. These days it certainly still feels like a boomtown, but for an altogether different reason, instead of chipping away in a silver mine, it has made its modern day fortune from something different; the business of sliding down frozen water on two wooden planks. Yep, you guessed right, it's downhill skiing. The Aspen Skiing Corporation began life in 1946 by building a chairlift on Aspen Mountain. Since then, three separate ski areas sprung to life from the late 1950s onwards, these are Buttermilk, Aspen Highlands, and Snowmass. All combined it makes up one of the best-known ski towns in the world. See more

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