With just a handful of apartments for rent around the city, and a couple of retirement communities, the rental properties in Bettendorf are fairly limited. However, the variety is nice. There are inexpensive apartments for rent, mostly in the north side of town. There are high-dollar rentals around the golf courses. And, there are some student-oriented apartments around the Scott Community College. Typical rental rates range from $600 to $1,300 a month, though you can find even more expensive rentals in lavish retirement communities. Remember to factor the security deposit into your rental costs, which, around here, typically costs about the same amount as one month's rent.

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