Barrington, NJ

353 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Barrington, like most of the rest of the state of New Jersey, has an interesting history that can be traced back over 300 years. There is much to learn about this town of just 6,983 residents (2010 U.S. Census data) -- from its early beginnings as a farming community back in 1703, to its implementation of the railroad in 1890, and its subsequent displacement just 30 years later. With the emergence of buses and cars in the 1920s, new community systems and programs were established, and the very first Barrington firehouse was constructed. The actual town of Barrington was given its name in 1880, when it was bought by a syndicate for the purpose of development. Although Barrington is now a suburb, rather than a rural community, this little town continues to reinvent itself with the ever-changing times. See more

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