While on a visit to Canada's Niagara Peninsula in 1797, Jacob Lindley, a Quaker from Pennsylvania, described it as a superb example of an "uncultivated part of nature's garden." Today's beautiful, country-like Orchard Park ultimately derived its name from that vast expanse of orchard scenery that extended for miles.
Orchard Park is a village township located in Erie County, New York (NY). According to the United States (US) Census Bureau's report for the year 2010, the population was comprised of 3,246 residents. Its village encompasses an area of 1.4 square miles and is not to be confused with its overall town status, which is 38.6 square miles in size. No, Orchard Park isn't very big, but don't hold that against it. Good things come in small packages, don't you know? See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Orchard Park 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.
