Harvey, LA 239 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Ask a New Orleans resident about Harvey and they'll probably tell you that's where they go to play slots. However, life-long residents -- of both New Orleans and the West Bank -- know Harvey is much like the slot machines: there's a treasure trove of riches to be found, if only you know where to look. While Harvey is technically a census-designated place along the West Bank in Jefferson Parish, the population of slightly more than 20,000 is more than some places that call themselves towns.

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