Fairview Heights, IL

196 Apartments for Rent with Parking

A charming town located just outside East St. Louis, its claim to fame is being the dominant shopping area for southwestern Illinois. With a population of 17,078 people, it's tiny enough to have that small town, Midwestern charm but big enough to offer entertainment and, of course, shopping for all. With St. Louis just across the river, there are all kinds of food, sports and museums available, and, of course, that lovely arch! See more

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