Silver Springs Shores, FL

192 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Silver Springs Shores is an area with just 6,500 residents, spread over about 4.8 square miles. Unlike most of Florida, Silver Springs Shores is inland. It gets its name from Spring Lake and Lake Sparkle, both found in the center of town. While this town lacks the ocean views found in most of Florida, Silver Springs Shores has something that much of the area does not -- access to beautiful, natural landscapes, courtesy of the Cross Florida Greenway and the Ocklawaha Prairie Restoration area.

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