Colonia, NJ

205 Apartments for Rent with Parking

It's not New York City. It's not Jersey City, either. Colonia is a wonderful little gem in New Jersey that gives you all the access to beautiful fall colors and a laid-back pace of life compared to New York City -- to say nothing of getting a bigger space for your rent money -- but you're still close enough that you can jaunt off to the Big Apple for a day trip or work.

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