Clawson, MI

121 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Clawson calls itself the "Little City With a Big Heart," and it's easy to see why, as this Detroit suburb of 11,825 has only 2.2 square miles of area. In that limited space is a town with considerable spunk and flavor, as its downtown area always has something going on, especially in the summer months. Its small size makes Clawson easily accessible on bike or foot for citizens and visitors alike, and City Park is the nexus of the town's many summertime recreational activities. Located in southern Oakland County, Clawson is 15 miles from Detroit and slightly further than that from Canada if scarfing down poutine is your idea of a fun time. See more

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