Riverside, IL

334 Apartments for Rent with Parking

How'd you like to live inside the National Register of Historic Places? The entire village of Riverside received that honor in 1970 because it was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Father of Landscape Architecture. Circular towers, arched windows and walls studded with stones and beams transport you to a Victorian English fantasy but the Craftsman-style punctuations remind you that you're still in the U.S. Appropriately enough, the southern border of this hamlet follows the Des Plaines River.

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