Henderson, NC

4 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Henderson, with its population of about 16,000, has a decidedly rural, small town feel. However, with its location about 40 miles from the Raleigh-Durham area, you’ll be sure to have access to big city amenities if the quiet country isolation starts to get to you.

With scenic beauty all around it, Henderson is definitely an outdoorsy city. North of the city center you’ll find Kerr Lake State Park, which offers great activities for all sorts of outdoor lovers, including sailing and boating, fishing, camping and waterskiing.

Now the bad news (and I mean very bad news) is that Henderson has an incredibly high number of both violent and property crimes. Okay, don’t strap on your bulletproof vest just yet. Though crime rates are generally high in Henderson, there are a few really great, safe neighborhoods located on the outskirts of the city, away from the high-crime urban areas. Additionally, the cost of living here is low and cheap apartments abound!

You’ll find some of the safest neighborhoods in Henderson to the southeast of the city center. Here there are a few apartment complexes that offer everything from studio apartments to two bedrooms. You’ll also find the occasional rental home and a few apartment rentals in duplexes. Two bedrooms here generally range from $500 to $650.

Northwest of the city center you’ll also find nice, family-friendly communities with a great safety reputation. This area of town tends to feel a bit more rural, but you can find the occasional apartment rental or rental home. Living up north will also put you in close proximity to the lake and recreational areas in the nearby state park. Two bedrooms here range from $600 to $800.

In general, you’ll want to avoid the city center and the urban areas directly north and south of it. Though there are small pockets of safe, desirable areas in these neighborhoods, the crime statistics will probably make it too dangerous to take advantage of.

As an outdoorsy city, many apartment rentals in Henderson will be both cat and dog-friendly. Though there may be size or breed limitations in some apartment complexes, the Henderson apartment market is generally quite pet-friendly.

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