174 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Situated on the confluence of the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers, McKeesport is an excellent place for fishers, boaters, and river-floaters to rejoice in the beauty of a water-fueled community. This is a city where you can park your boat at a marina, hop off for a picnic, enjoy a little music and dancing, and then return to your floatable sanctuary on the water for a little R&R. Off the water, can find plenty of other fun and interesting things, such as a show at the Renzie Park band shell, or a hike along the Great Allegheny Passage (which, by the way, you can hike and bike along all the way to Washington D.C.!). It's an interesting and ever-evolving city, and it can all be experienced at very cheap rates. Rentals typically cost about $400 - $650, giving you tons of options at cheap, cheap prices. There are old apartments in small brick buildings, duplexes, deckers, as well as rental homes, all for less than $700!

Since most apartments in McKeesport are housed in old brick buildings and homes, there aren’t many community extras for renters around here. There are no apartment buildings with swimming pools or fitness centers. In fact, the most you can expect amenity-wise is a place to park, a place to sleep, and a place to do laundry.

Looking for a pet friendly property rental? Well, it may take a little extra legwork, but they do exist around here. Pet friendly apartments, and especially dog friendly apartments, are little harder to come by. And, if you do find one, then you can expect to pay both a pet deposit and a monthly pet rent, which could have you paying hundreds of dollars to bring along the dog. So, whether your pets are part of the family or you just can't say no to those puppy eyes, be prepared to pay for it.

Those are all the tips and tricks you need to find the perfect new rental in McKeesport. Best of luck on the home hunt!

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