"…Nowhere in all America will you find more patrician-like houses; parks and gardens more opulent, than in New Bedford." (-Herman Melville)
The rest of Melville's description of New Bedford were not as kind, perhaps because he wrote about the city during a time when it was largely known for its whaling industry and was sparsely populated. Today, the city of New Bedford boasts a population of approximately 100,000, and while it remains a famed whaling era seaport, it is now the number one fishing port in the United States.
New Bedford, MA is a charming sea town decorated with beautiful coastlines, public parks, and beaches. The town was founded in 1787 and has a rich and celebrated history. New Bedford is the sixth largest city in Massachusetts, and is often still referred to as "The Whaling City," recalling its past as the most important whaling port in the world. The city has been home to many famous people throughout its history, most notably the abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who settled here in 1838. A historic building and monument stand in his honor today. View New Bedford City Guide
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some New Bedford 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.
