Silverton, OR

29 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Named after the Silver River, the town grew up to play an important role in Willamette Valley settlement. Banking and finance helped drive the local economy, along with trade, agriculture, and transportation. It's the gateway town to Oregon's largest state park, Silver Falls. It's also where you will find the Oregon Garden, a lush 80 acre display of botanical delights with a strong emphasis on plants native to the Pacific Northwest. The city of around 10,000 is a historic burg with a nice, clean downtown that is home to a fine collection of shops and businesses. Interestingly enough, movie-goers might remember the downtown area from the movie_ "_Bandits" -- the Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton characters rob their first bank in Silverton. See more

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