Winchester, KY is the birthplace of one of America's most celebrated and honored frontiersmen: Daniel Boone. Most famous for his exploration and settlement of modern day Kentucky, Boone rode horseback through the early American countryside, staking claim to territory. After discovering Kentucky in the late 1700s, more than 200,000 early American settlers followed Boone's path to the region.
A municipality within Clark County, Winchester had a population of 18,368 at the 2010 Census. Originally founded in 1793, the city of Winchester was one of the first established American settlements in the Western Frontier. As a result, Winchester had an integral role as one of the first cities in the new state of Kentucky. Although not as large as many cities in Kentucky, Winchester has an important role in the state's economy, particularly the agricultural sector. Located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Winchester is known for its spectacular scenery and an abundance of outdoor activities including great hiking, excellent fishing and even better mountaineering.

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