Tehachapi, CA 16 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Tehachapi, California is the gateway between two worlds and two histories -- to the northwest is Bakersfield, a Central Valley city rich in oil and the industry that goes with it. To the east is the Mojave Desert with its sparse Joshua Trees and large, thunderous skies. Edwards Air Force Base is relatively nearby, the Tehachapi State Prison is even closer. This city is small and frequently bypassed by those traveling between other larger metropolitan areas: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and the Bay Area. View Tehachapi City Guide

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