Westwego, LA

179 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Westwego, Louisiana, is located alongside the Mississippi River just west of the world famous Audubon Zoo. Its geographical location ensures hot, humid summers and cold, wet winters, so there's a lot of wildlife here -- which is great news if you love fishing, bird watching, or hunting. Westwego has a population of a little over 8,000, but it is a pretty sizable neighborhood. Unlike a typical Louisiana town, there aren't many swamps here, but there are a few creeks spread around just to remind you that you are in fact still here in Louisiana. Since Westwego is a suburb of New Orleans, it's a highly desirable place to live -- in other words, properties are in high demand. See more

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