Franklin Park, NJ

169 Apartments for Rent with Garages

Originally called Six Mile Run, Franklin Park comprises a small area of Franklin Township in New Jersey, roughly two and a half square miles, and is in what is known as the Skylands Region of the state, at least as far as county lines and New Jersey tourism is concerned (yes, people actually want to go there. On purpose.). According to the 2010 census, there are over 13,000 people living there so it's fairly packed in. New Jersey, and specifically Franklin Township's relative proximity to New York City, one of the biggest and greatest cities in the world puts it at an almost instantaneous younger sibling-like disadvantage, but while shows like The Jersey Shore show some of the worst Jersey has to offer, and there is a faint, unpleasant odor from the state when you drive through it, there are beautiful areas that don't gain the same amount of positive attention and perhaps the denizens of New Jersey like it that way.

Franklin Park apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.

Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.

It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.

Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
