Off Street vs. On Street Parking in Boston
Off Street vs. On Street Parking in Boston
Never should you let parking determine your housing search. I've had clients turn down seemingly all around perfect housing opportunities because off-street parking wasn't available at that location. In every case this happened, I learned afterward that while they did find a place with parking the apartment was inferior in quality to the one they could have rented without a spot. If your housing search is equivalent to a sucking chest wound, then your parking spot search is like a hang nail or a knee scrape. Dress the parking wound AFTER you secure appropriate housing.
Off-Street Parking
The difficulty level of finding an apartment that offers off-street parking approaches the difficulty level of finding a dog friendly apartment. Because off-street parking is rare, and because the demand for it is high, if you are going to get a parking spot it will surely cost you extra money. Even if the parking spot "comes with the apartment" the extra value is built into the monthly rent. This is true for all apartments with the exception of apartments located more than a 20 minute walk from a train line.
