Port Jervis, NY

20 Apartments for Rent with Parking

When you think of a city with a "port" designation in its name, a sprawling, saltwater seaport comes to mind. Not so with Port Jervis! This hilly little burg's charmingly rustic, picture postcard-worthiness traces its inland freshwater commerce source to its settlement roots in 1690. Situated on an idyllic stretch of the pristine Delaware River, Port Jervis took on its current name in 1853 when it was officially incorporated as a village (later to be upgraded to a city). It became well established, economically viable and well known in southeastern New York state as a result of the creation of the Delaware and Hudson Rivers Canal. Port Jervis is commonly referenced as a NYC commuter suburb, although its hefty 78-mile distance from Manhattan is on the edge of daily commute viability. See more

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