Flat Rock started out in 1811 as the Village of Vreeland, named after the Vreeland family who owned extensive tracts of land in the area. The city gained its current name from the Flat Rock Speedway, which is not actually located in Flat Rock, but can be found about a mile and a quarter to the southwest in nearby Berlin Charter Township, a village to the south of Flat Rock, in neighboring Monroe County.
Flat Rock is in Wayne County, Michigan, with a small part of the city within MonroeCounty as well. It has a population of 9,773, estimated by the American Community Survey in 2012. The population is fairly young with an average age of 37. The city is dominated by the Ford Motor Company's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, which produces Ford's Mustang and Fusion automobiles. Property values have increased substantially recently, and are expected to continue rising in the foreseeable future. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Flat Rock 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.
