Eden, NC

10 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Present-day Eden is actually a consolidation of three towns: Draper, Leaksville and Spray. John Marshall Carter, a Leaksville native, was away at college when residents voted to merge into one city in 1967. He was devastated to return to "Eden" and, fitting of the times, wrote a protest-minded song lamenting the loss of his hometown. Luckily, most residents don't share John's sentiments, but you can still recognize some distinct qualities in each section of the city. A lot of that has to do with the Smith River, which runs right through the middle of town. But those differences provide residents with a variety of options for property rentals in Eden, a city that encompasses 15 square miles with a population density of about 1,000 people per square mile.

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