Dunn, NC 50 Apartments for Rent with Parking

An outer suburb of the greater Raleigh Durham area, Dunn, North Carolina is home to about 9,200 residents -- though the true count of Dunn and its surrounding environs is closer to 114,000 -- so don't expect a rural town. Incorporated in 1887, Dunn was historically a logging town and turpentine distilling center (bet you didn't even know that was a thing). Dunn's namesake is Bennett R. Dunn, the construction supervisor on the railroad line between Wilson and Fayetteville. Located along I-95, Dunn is just about smack halfway between New York and Florida -- though it's certainly not a quick jaunt to either. It's just a two hour drive from Dunn to the Crystal Coast -- a popular summer getaway destination. Its economy is currently based on agriculture, manufacturing, distribution, and tourism.

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