Settlers from the Hudson River Valley began farming the Stone House Plains section of Bloomfield, in what is now Brookdale, as early as the start of the eighteenth century.
Located in the northeast corner of Essex County, New Jersey, Brookdale is a census designated place, or CDP, within Bloomfield which is the wider township. Clifton is situated to the northeast and Montclair to the south and west. The CDP is well served by the Garden State Parkway which provides easy access to the rest of the state and to New York City. On a good journey, you can drive to Manhattan Island via the Lincoln Tunnel in about 25 minutes. As of the 2010 Census, Brookdale had well in excess of 9,200 inhabitants. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the total area covered by the CDP is only a little over one and a half square miles. Into this space, several thousand housing units are squeezed, so the population density is high even by the standards of New Jersey. But, this close to the Big Apple, you knew that already, right?

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