185 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Let's see‰Û_ When Major League pitcher Lee Stange was born in 1936, Broadview had less than 10,000 people. Today it has less than 8,000 people. It appears that not a whole lot has changed in the Village of Broadway, which is a suburb of Chicago. Don't jump to conclusions though. Almost half of the city's land is set aside for industrial use, limiting residential growth. Since people don't live in warehouses, and the rest of the city is stuffed with houses and apartment buildings, there is little room for growth. Its large industrial park and proximity to Chicago make Broadview a destination spot for people looking for a "balanced community." See more

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