Rome, NY 18 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Ahhh, New York, home of towering skyscrapers, sophisticated urbanites, concrete jungles, and…sky-high real estate prices! Lucky for you, apartments in Rome, despite being in New York, are not as costly as other cities in that part of the country. Located in Oneida County, in the state of New York, Rome is home to more than 33,980 people, and the 31st largest community in the state. The median temperature in Rome during the summer months is 68°F, with a bone-chilling low of 22°F during winter. The really cool thing about the rental properties in Rome is the fact that they are well below the New York median, and surprisingly, below the national average, as well. The cost of living index for Rome is also quite low – 26 percent less than the New York average, and 8 percent less than the national average. For a state with cities that average up to three times the national average, this is no mean feat. But this makes it easier on your checking account as you plan your move to Rome.

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