4 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Cheap apartments, you’ll be glad to know, rule the roost in Stephenville, where the average rental goes for only $700, and campus area apartments are usually available for considerably less. Amenities range from basic to lavish, depending on how many greenbacks you’re willing to fork over. However, even some of the most modestly priced rentals come equipped with modern appliances, gourmet kitchens, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, gyms, clubhouses, and more. Waiting lists, fortunately, are pretty much nonexistent in Stephenville, so feel free to shop the market leisurely without worrying about the perfect apartment slipping out of your grasp. And, don’t forget to bring along proof of income, banking info, two forms of I.D., and a list of previous residences when you’re ready to submit a leasing app. Also, if you’re a student with no job, no income, no credit, and no leasing history (hey, at least you still have your dashing good looks or something), you’ll need a respectable cosigner to help seal the deal.

Planning to share room and board with a furry four-footed roommate by any chance? Sounds like you’ll be needing a pet friendly apartment in Stephenville. Fortunately, you’ll find a nice selection of pet friendly (including dogs allowed) rentals in and around town. Just be prepared to pay an extra $25 or so in rent each month (or an equivalent one-time fee) if you’re roommate is of the feline, canine, bovine, or UFO variety.

Crime rates, fortunately, are extremely low throughout the city, and violent crime is extremely rare (so don’t bother packing your bullet-proof vest). Still, like pretty much any modern city, the “Cowboy Capitol of the World” does see its fair share of petty (dare we say keg party-inspired?) crime and vandalism. Obviously, be sure to visit Stephenville in advance to see if you’re comfy with its vibes before signing a lease. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet community surrounded by open spaces, cattle, and the occasional UFO sighting, you’re better off concentrating on the rentals farther away from TSU. Likewise, if you’re a student, you might feel a bit out of place on the wide open, landowner-occupied outskirts.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time for the fun part: finding you the apartment of your dreams in Stephenville, Texas. Best of luck and happy hunting! See more

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