Kensington, CT 147 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Kensington is just over five square miles situated in the north-central part of the town of Berlin. Smack-dab in the central part of the state, Kensington is considered part of the Hartford metro area. The region was once called Pagonchawnischage (place of the great white oaks) by the Mattabasset Indians. Today, about 9,000 residents and a bunch of modern-day shops have replaced many of the white oaks. Not to worry, though, if you feel a need to get back to the town's natural roots (pun intended), just spend the day at Hungerford Park where you can enjoy numerous nature trails and ogle a collection of exotic animals. Watch out, camels spit. View Kensington City Guide

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