294 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Kearns started life as an Army Air Base in the 1940s and grew quickly over the next several decades. The base closed down long ago, but the town has thrived and today is home to many established businesses. Kearns is actually a township rather than a town, although the difference isn't really a big deal --something to do with a township having fewer elected officials than a town. Okay, now that the civics lesson is over, here are some key facts about Kearns. The town, or township, is in the Salt Lake City metro region and has a total area of 4.8 square miles. The altitude is pretty high, at 4,528 feet. The population density is rather high as well, so you will have plenty of friendly neighbors when you get here. See more

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