Cudahy, WI

131 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Situated about a 15-minute drive from downtown Milwaukee, Cudahy rests on the edge of Lake Michigan and was originally known as the Buckhorn Settlement. The city changed its name just before the turn of the 20th century when Patrick Cudahy moved his meatpacking industry there -- just outside of Milwaukee's city limits. Cudahy's family business is still operating in the area, and you may now have guessed how the city derived its new name. Because of the excellent location, Cudahy's rental prices are just a little over the average for Wisconsin, but you should also bear in mind that they are lower than the national average. July and August are the warmest months here, when the average daily temperature regularly reaches the mid-seventies. See more

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