Darnestown, MD

229 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Darnestown is an unincorporated place with just 6,802 residents. It's got a small-town feel, but if you're ever in the mood for that big city bustle, you can just head east to Rockville or northeast to Gaithersburg. The area's heyday was during the Civil War, when armies camped out there. So it makes sense that there are some historic buildings still left from that time, including Montanverde, an estate where Abraham Lincoln once spent the night. If it's waterfront views you're craving, you'll be glad to know that the Potomac River is just south of this area, while Chesapeake Bay is less than two hours east. Yep, Darnestown certainly has a prime location, which you'll get to enjoy once you pick your preferred rental housing and move in. See more

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