Alamo, TX

120 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Located 240 miles south of the more famous Alamo, this town is sometimes called the "land of two summers" for its warm and pleasant weather. The community is surrounded by many vegetable farms and citrus groves of all types. It's considered a winter resort and a mecca for retirees. Perched as a gateway to Mexico -- and all those inexpensive leather handbags and blankets -- it's located next to the major transportation corridor, Rte 281. This charming and busy town sits right in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas' Hidalgo County. See more

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