Mastic, NY

36 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Neither a town, city or village, it's not exactly a forgotten "no man's land" as Mastic's main identity is bundled with its contiguous neighbors namely Shirley and Mastic Beach. As of the United States (U.S.) Census Bureau's 2010 report, Mastic had 15,481 residents. Mastic's major visitor appeal is its proximity to Fire Island, a unique patch where you can take Rover for a seven mile-long walk on the dog park path and return on an adventurous ferry-ride if you're both too pooped to hoof it back on foot.

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