"All of the citizens of Donaldsonville... left their homes and went to the bayou... a detachment of Yankees went to shore with fire torches in hand" - From _The Civil War in Louisiana _by John D. Winters
Donaldsonville has a long history, having first been settled long before the arrival of the pilgrims in America. Originally a town inhabited by the Chitimacha people, Donaldsonville has seen Louisiana rise up around it. Offering low property costs and an abundance of Louisiana culture, Donaldsonville is quite an inviting location for newcomers.
Donaldsonville is a small town with a population of just around 7,400 residents at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. But it has an overabundance of friendliness in that small population. The city is like New Orleans, but without the party-goers. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Donaldsonville 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.
