Grand Ledge, MI

24 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Grand Ledge has a population of 7,786 (2010 census), and it's safe to say that a large percentage of these locals may well be rock climbers. This town is a mecca for folks who love to scale the area's magnificent sandstone and quartzite rock ledges, many of which rise to more than 60 feet. Back in the 1870s, Grand Ledge was reinvented as a resort town, where entrepreneurs peddled the healthful waters from the local mineral springs. In 1891, these savvy developers even built an amusement park here, complete with animals, a merry-go-round and Michigan's first roller coaster. All of this may be gone now, but what remains is a wonderfully scenic town with a friendly, unhurried atmosphere; beautiful nature centers; picturesque historic buildings and loads of charm and personality -- even without the roller coaster.

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