Lake Shore is located near the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, established in 1824, which marks the location of the Hudson Bay Company's largest fur trading post west of the Rocky Mountains, considered the most important activity center for the settlement of the entire U.S. west coast. This is the location where American settlers first arrived after traversing the Oregon Trail and received supplies that allowed them to survive their first months in the unfamiliar west.
Lake Shore, Washington is a tiny suburban area covering just 1.6 square miles, but it's located on the northern edge of the city of Vancouver, which has a population of 165,000 and is considered part of the Portland, OR metropolitan statistical area. Lake Shore is a census designated place in the southwest corner of Washington state on the eastern shore of Vancouver Lake. Locals consider Lake Shore to be a neighborhood of Vancouver just like communities to the east, Starcrest and Hazel Dell North. In fact, when you live here you get a Vancouver address. How neat is that? Lake Shore ranks 63rd out of 522 areas of Washington in per-capita income, and you're going to find a lot of newer, larger rental homes options here. Lake Shore lies about five minutes away from the banks of the Columbia River, which if you follow it west will lead you to the Pacific Ocean or to the east up the Columbia River Gorge and some of the most under-rated, breath-taking scenery in all of the U.S. This community also is a little more than an hour's drive away from skiing on Mt. Hood, and about the same distance from hiking, camping, mountain biking, fishing and other outdoor recreational pursuits at Mt. St. Helens. Yes, that Mt. St. Helens. Don't worry it's not supposed to erupt any time soon. At least, not before the lease expires on your new rental home in Lake Shore. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Lake Shore 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.
