Newberg, OR

122 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Just 25 miles from Portland, Newberg is a beautiful, 'burby, boutique-y, wine country, coffee shop-saturated Christian college town. The area is full of natural aesthetics, from the orchards to the parks to the golf course to the Willamette River, this area is just teeming with pleasant and colorful surprises. It's a charmed life for local Newbergians, however, Newberg commuters to the Portland area will have to deal with some terribly tedious traffic.

A couple decades ago, this area was just farm country with little need for big highways. But, things change. Sigh. Portland's suburbs are starting to grow suburbs of their own, and traffic conditions along the major routes and back roads are now equally frustrating. Just 25 miles can easily take an hour or more to drive, especially during tourist season. If you plan on working or playing in Portland, be prepared for traffic jams ahead of you.

Rental rates are all over the place. You can find cheap apartments for just $500, larger affordable apartments for $700 - $900, rental homes ranging from $600 to over $2,500, as well as a few retirement community rentals that cost over $4,000 a month. There are neighborhoods geared towards retirees, though they really aren't too far from the young families and students that live around George Fox University. Low income and high income, college students and families, old and young, people of all types live right next to each other around here. Cheap apartments and luxury rental homes can be found in the same neighborhood, the same block even. It's a nice mix that keeps things interesting, yet pleasant and safe.

What kind of amenities can you expect in this rental market? Well, not many, unless you’re 65 or better and living in a retirement community (in which case, you're amenities are endless!). Most apartment buildings are smaller with just basic extras such as laundry facilities, storage, and parking. In a city like this, you won't need the apartment communities to serve as entertainment. Find a place next to the golf course, near the wineries, backing up to a park, or in downtown for the best amenities right at your doorstep.

Looking for a pet friendly rental? Well, you’re in luck. There are plenty of apartment rentals that are cat friendly, as well as few rental homes that are dog friendly. Dog friendly rentals sometimes take a diligent home hunter, though. If you can't find any dog friendly rental properties in our listings, try checking the local classifieds to find a dog-friendly landlord.

Now that you've done your homework, we reckon you're ready to become a local Newbergian. It's truly beautiful country that you’re sure to fall head-over-heels in love with. Best of luck out there!

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