Tenafly, NJ

135 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Not too far from the Big Apple is a place called Tenafly, a great New Jersey city that is both a commuter town and a destination unto itself. Tenafly, like most other places in the area, was settled by the Dutch. The town established itself in the 17th century, and was incorporated as an official "borough" in 1894. Today, the borough has grown into a thriving town, with tons of entertainment, dining, shopping and business choices (as if you needed more of those being so close to New York City!) People move to Tenafly for a lower cost of living than nearby New York, and they also move for a bit more relaxation. It's quite a desirable place to live, in fact. New Jersey Monthly named it the 65th best place to live in the state. That might sound high but there are tons of places in New Jersey to call home! See more

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