53 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Norwich is a city of about 40,000 located in eastern Connecticut. Founded in 1659, the city really got kicking during the Industrial Age, when it became the home of several large mills. The mills may have left town, but Norwich hasn’t suffered too much. New development in the farther-flung neighborhoods, as well as historic preservation in urban areas have kept Norwich thriving.

Norwich’s housing market is dominated by rentals. This means that you shouldn’t have any trouble at all locating a great, budget-friendly place, from sprawling historic four-bedroom rental homes to studio apartments. Have special needs? No problem! Many larger apartment complexes offer short term lease options and furnished apartments for rent. Relocating with a four-legged friend? Relax! Pet friendly rentals are in abundance here.

There are a lot of different neighborhoods in Norwich, each with its own personality. Let’s start downtown and move outward.

The Downtown Historic District, also known as Chelsea, has declined in recent years. However, the city has pushed to rejuvenate the area. Several repurposed lofts and condominiums are available in this area, though the price tag and other factors may be a deterrent. However, many of these rentals have great amenities, such as a gym, swimming pool and clubhouse. Two bedroom apartments for rent here range from $1,000 - $1,200.

To the north of town you’ll find sprawling Mohegan Park and several other historic districts located in the original old town. The Norwichtown section of the city on the northern border of the park has several desirable rental homes and apartments for rent in both historic buildings and new developments. Two bedroom rental properties in this area generally range from $1,100 - $1,400.

To the northeast and northwest of Norwichtown, you’ll find Yantic and Taftville/Occum, respectively. Both former mill towns, the Taftville and Occum areas have bounced back better after the mills were destroyed. If you’re looking for quiet residential areas with tons of inexpensive apartments, check out these areas. You can find two bedroom rental properties here for about $700 - $850.

Greenville and Laurel Hill, located east of the city center, are good areas with a growing Hispanic population, and affordable apartments. Prices here range from $650-800. Just west of Laurel Hill you’ll find the Thamesville neighborhood. There has been some recent development in this area—including high-end luxury condominiums and it’s affordable, with two bedrooms going for $600 - $800.

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