"I knew I should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque." - Bugs Bunny
North Valley, also known as North Albuquerque, refers to a census-designated place east of the Rio Grande and west of Edith Boulevard. Formerly farmland and ranchland, North Valley is now a fast-growing area. The southern part of the North Valley closest to downtown Albuquerque is sometimes called the Near North Valley. North Valley's population in the 2010 census was 11,333. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some North Valley 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.
