Oconomowoc, WI

10 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Only in Wisconsin would a town of 13,000 be called a city, but that's how they classify Oconomowoc. It's basically a Mayberry in the Midwest, with a really hard to say name. People come here for the peaceful, quiet, rural life, or to raise their families. In terms of man-made stuff there's not much to do besides schools, a library, some shopping and a few restaurants, but if you like to take advantage of the splendor of the outdoors, it's a great place to settle down and explore the beauty of Wisconsin Lakes and Forests. Also, it's just a hop skip and a jump away from both Madison and Lake Michigan -- so there's always something to do nearby if you get too bored. See more

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