Named by Reverend John Fee for a biblical town that "received the word with all eagerness," Berea stood out in 1850s slave-state Kentucky as an area that opposed slavery. In fact, Berea College was the first interracial college founded in the South.
Berea is a city located in Madison County, Kentucky. With a quickly growing population of 13,561 at the 2010 census, the city is a major hub for artisans and wordsmiths. Even renowned authors Bell Hooks and Silas House reside in this dreamy small town with flair. The city sits within 40 miles of Lexington and is home to a giant community of musicians, painters, sculptors, jewelry makers, furniture designers and many other artists of all types. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Berea 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.
