Lago Vista, TX

110 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Lago Vista is a gorgeous little city in the hill country about 20 miles northwest of Austin, Texas. Located on the northern shore of Lake Travis (which looks like the shadow of a dragon from the air), this scenic community was incorporated in the early 1980s, but was actually developed in the 1960s as a lake resort. Back in the 60s, summer homes, camping facilities and water sports were the main attractions of the area. The population has grown to 6,369, and continues to steadily increase as people fall in love with and move to the area. This is the hill country, and part of the amazing allure of living in Lago Vista is due to the tiered landscape that affords a large portion of its residents stunning lake views. See more

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