252 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Totowa may be more than 100 years old -- founded in 1898 -- and it's still looking great! Totowa is a borough that takes up about four square miles in Passaic County, New Jersey. According to the 2010 Census the current population is around 10,844 people. Totowa has a bit of an odd combination of residential areas; on the one hand, it is smack dab in the middle of Passaic County and there are parts of it that are pretty urban. But because it is fairly spread out, there are large sections of residential areas uncharacteristic of an urban center -- so it has both an urban and a suburban feel, depending upon where you're at.

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