River Rouge, MI

155 Apartments for Rent with Parking

River Rouge, Michigan, is named after the river that cuts through it -- Rouge River (although the name is inverted just to show a stroke of uniqueness). It is situated right at the mouth of the Detroit River, so the town has one of the most spectacular views in Michigan. The weather in River Rouge and the weather here is nothing short of sporadic and unpredictable. The locals often refer to River Rouge's weather pattern as 'wild' -- and it most certainly is. In the summer, one week the temperature will be in the mid-80s, then suddenly it will reach the 100s the next. The winters are the same, but surprisingly many of the residents here enjoy the unpredictable weather since it adds a whiff of excitement to the city. See more

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