Bernalillo, NM

156 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Located less than twenty minutes from Albuquerque, Bernalillo, New Mexico, has a population of just over 8,300 as of the 2010 census. It's the county seat of Sandoval County, and rests on the east bank of the rolling Rio Grande River. The town was founded in 1695 -- that's right, that long ago -- by the Spanish Conquistador De Vargas on the site of the Gonzales/Bernal Camp. The Santuario de San Lorenzo was constructed in 1856, and is the site of the Las Fiestas de San Lorenzo each August, which includes a Matachines ritual dance. See more

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