Chalmette, LA

229 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Not really big enough to be called a town, Chalmette is technically a census-designated place (CDP) in the greater New Orleans area. Anywhere else, it would just be considered nothing more than part of NOLA. But the Big Easy is all about individual identities, so Chalmette waves its unique flag high and proudly. It's the seat of St. Bernard Parish and, as of the 2010 census, has 16,751 residents, most of whom work in New Orleans. See more

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