Manville, NJ

145 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Johns-Manville, best known as a supplier of construction materials, located its plant in the area because of the confluences of waterways, railroads and highways in the area. By 1929, the Hillsborough Township -- then the largest township in Somerset County, NJ -- split from Manville by an act of the State Legislature. This was primarily down to the expansion of Manville that had been caused by the rise of industry in the locality. But, enough of history, okay? Nowadays, Manville has left its industrial past behind and much of the former land that was used for manufacturing has long since been redeveloped. As of the 2010 census, the borough had a population that was well in excess of 10,000 inhabitants. It covers an area that is a little under two and a half square miles and only a small proportion of this is water with the vast majority of space being given over to residential dwellings, including apartment rentals. The Central Jersey Regional Airport, mostly servicing single-engine aircraft, lies to the southern edge of Manville. Much of the eastern and northern boundaries are formed by the aforementioned waterways, which made it such a good place for a twentieth century manufacturing base. Village Green Park, a pleasant open space, forms the approximate western perimeter. See more

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