Northampton, PA

81 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Northampton isn't a city, town, or village. So what is it? This place is actually a borough, and a smallish one at that. It spans just 2.7 square miles. You could walk the whole borough in less than an hour if you really wanted to. As far as residents are concerned, Northampton is pretty densely populated for such a small community. According to the Census, it's home to over 14,000 people. The community is tightly knit enough to have dances, holiday celebrations, and bingo night. And if a dog goes missing? That news is big enough to end up on the main page of the borough's official website. See more

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