6 Apartments for Rent with Parking

But don't look for any real-life Ghostbusters here. The residents of this scenic and historic town, that was once a stop for hundreds of wagon trains on their way to the California Gold Rush, seem to like their ghosts. So much so that they run regular trolley tours of the local haunted houses and delight in telling ghost stories to any who will listen. One of the Travel Channel's most popular shows focused on the unofficial residents!

In 2010, the official census put the population at 11,021 and with a growth rate over the last decade of 8.4%, Atchison is growing, but not by leaps. This is America's Heartland, and you'll definitely know you're in Kansas when you move here. For a time Atchison was the eastern end of the line for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail line. The train, however, kept on moving west! See more

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