_"Savoy, the home of sweet romance
Savoy, it wins you with a glance
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance
Your old form just like a clinging vine
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine!"_
--From 'Stompin' at the Savoy' by Ella Fitzgerald
Savoy is a self-governing village located at the southernmost point of Champaign County, Illinois. Home to a little over 7,000 residents, Savoy is a mostly professional community. More people here are employed to work in the scientific and mathematical industries than in 95% of the other towns, villages and cities in Illinois! Talk about a smart place to live. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Savoy 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.
