Kingston, Massachusetts is a small town on the southeast coast of Massachusetts, located in Plymouth County. The town center is home to about 5,600 people but the larger town itself has about 12,600 people as of the 2010 census. The whole town is about eighteen and a half square miles of land. Located just 35 miles south of Boston, this is one of the oldest settled communities in the country. Though the town was incorporated in 1726, before that it was simply known as the North Precinct of the Plymouth Colony. The Wampanoag Indians held this land before the Mayflower arrived and several Native American burials sites have been uncovered in the town of Kingston. Once settled by the colonists, Kingston went on to become a colonial boat-building center, building ships for the American Revolutionary War. In fact, the USS Independence was built right in Kingston on the Jones River. You'll see references to the ship throughout the town. Kingston is still home to the longest continuously operating boat yard in North America at Jones River Landing. In modern times, Kingston has become a residential community and suburb of Boston. However, there are still a few professional fishermen around and the area also boasts some agriculture, mostly in the form of cranberry bogs, so get your fishing poles ready! See more

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