Barnstable Town, MA 32 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Barnstable Town must have inspiration infused in the water or perhaps it floats around in the air, where residents breathe it in and are suddenly moved to create music, literature, movies, national legislation, and sports history. Some of Cape Cod’s most famous former residents include Judy Garland, who you know better as Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz, along with Kurt Vonnegut, author of the satirical classic Slaughterhouse-Five, Aerosmiths bassist Tom Hamilton, and John Havlicek, one of the Boston Celtics greatest players. Who might you run into as you shop in Hyannis or relax on the beach? Just Arnold Schwarzenegger though maybe not so much now that he and Maria Shriver have divorced. They were married in Hyannis, as Shriver is part of the Kennedy family, who has had strong ties to Barnstable for many years.Most people vacation on Cape Cod in the summer, dreaming of becoming year-round residents. Those that do get to live this close to the ocean are the lucky ones. Several months out of the year, President John F. Kennedy ran the country from the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis, and presidents Grover Cleveland and Ulysses S. Grant did the same from their summer homes. Senator Ted Kennedy lived in Barnstable Town until he passed away. In 2007, Barnstable Town was awarded the All-America City Award by the National Civic League in recognition of the community’s ability to work together to create a wonderful place to live.

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