Lake Bluff, IL

123 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Lake Bluff is an interesting little town just north of Chicago. Newcomers might think that they are going to need to look elsewhere for entertainment -- after all, how exciting can it be when there aren't quite 6,000 people living here? Well, a local saying is that once a person visits Lake Bluff, they will never want to leave; even after that final crossing, residents' spirits remain behind. If that isn't a five-star review of Lake Bluff, we don't know what is! To highlight this local lore, every other year the Lake Bluff History Museum has a Ghost Walk where local residents dressed like ghosts and ghouls tell stories about the town. You will also want to be sure and catch the Independence Day Parade each year to see the latest performance of the synchronized lawnmowers. Yep, you heard me right. See more

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