Pike Road is home of Alabama's first combat pilot-training airfield.
Just outside the city of Montgomery, a new community is emerging. Pike Road, Alabama is reinventing the American hometown by blending timeless traditions with modern conveniences. Share iced tea with neighbors on the front porch or share photos of local events through the town square's Wi-Fi--welcome to Southern hospitality 2.0.
Pike Road is an up-and-coming area in high demand and on the fast track to keep up with that demand. Beginning in the 19th century as a small municipality on the outskirts of Alabama's capital city, the Town of Pike Road incorporated in 1997 to provide a refreshing alternative to random suburban sprawl. The town's planning commission has embraced and enforced "smart growth"--an effort to create communities equally desirable to residents and businesses while preserving green spaces and improving area walkability--a rarity in most rural settings. The recent construction boom in Pike Road gives it that new town smell. View Pike Road City Guide
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Pike Road 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.
