Scotchtown, NY

51 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Scotchtown is a hamlet between the towns of Wallkill and Middletown in Orange County, New York. Just over 9,200 people called this 4.2 square mile piece of prime New York property home in 2010, and the area continues to grow, mostly because when people settle in Scotchtown, they tend to stay. Census data from 2010 shows that home owners average nine years in their current house, and renters had been in the same spot for at least four years. With July high temperatures hovering in the mid-80s, you get a real taste of summer, and although winter lows dip into the teens, the area only sees six to eight inches of monthly snow during the colder months. The hamlet is considered part of the metropolitan New York area, with the city about 73 miles to the south and accessible by highway or rail. See more

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