Ada, OK

9 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Ada is located in the central portion of the state of Oklahoma, about 60 miles from Norman and 80 miles from Oklahoma City. With a population of a little less than 17,000 people, Ada is definitely a small, tight-knit community. However, because of its distance from larger cities, Ada also serves as the commercial center of the surrounding region. All the best of the area’s shopping, dining and entertainment can be found right outside your doorstep in both small, locally owned establishments and large box stores and chain restaurants.

East Central University, a large public school founded in Ada in 1909, is located just east of the city center. The large, historic campus and surrounding areas provide the town with great opportunities for unique culture and entertainment.

Need more good news? Ada has a very low cost of living and a fairly decent safety record, so you shouldn’t have any trouble locating tons of cheap apartments in Ada’s many safe and desirable neighborhoods.

Because East Central University contributes a little less than 6,000 people to the population, you’re going to find that a large majority of Ada’s apartment rentals are located around the college campus. If you’re not a student, don’t worry too much about proximity to undergraduates. ECU Tigers rarely get too rowdy, and when they do, it’s only during football season. Also, if you venture just southwest of campus, you’ll find a few apartment complexes that are less densely packed with students. Many of the apartments in this area offer short-term leases. Two bedrooms close to campus range from $500 to $700.

North of the city center, you’ll find a few new developments that offer everything from studio apartments to three bedrooms. Many of these apartments also have amenities like clubhouses and children’s play areas. Additionally, you can find the occasional rental home here. Two bedrooms north of downtown generally range from $400 to $500.

South of downtown, past ECU’s campus, you’ll also find great, safe and quiet neighborhoods with a few apartment rentals available. Though most of the real estate here is owner-occupied, you can find occasional rental homes and duplexes in these neighborhoods. Two bedrooms in this area generally range from $400 to $550.

If you’re moving to Ada with a four-legged friend, you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating a pet-friendly apartment. While some apartment rentals may have size or breed restrictions, the majority of Ada’s rental market is both cat and dog friendly.

So welcome to Ada. Enjoy all that this friendly Oklahoma community has to offer! See more

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