Fenton, MI

20 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Originally called Dibbleville (chuckle about that for a second), and later, Fentonville, this town of just under 12,000 modern residents was eventually named Fenton in 1863. Sprawled across Genesee, Oakland and Livingston Counties in Michigan, Fenton has seen a lot of reconstruction since the 1970s, when its downtown was destroyed to make way for a more modern commercial center. In 2007, a tornado wiped out further construction that is still being redesigned and replaced. Several classic buildings, like the A.J. Philips Building, the U.S. Post Office and the Fenton Fire Hall, still remain. See more

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