Parking in Boston

Locate Parking Quickly and Easily

The only thing you can say about parking in Boston is at least you’re not parking in New York City. After NYC parking, Boston may be the most difficult city in the U.S. to find parking in. Forget about trolling the city’s winding streets for free parking, around the North End or Boston Common you’ll be lucky to find metered parking. And of course, during the baseball season, Red Sox fans takeover parking in the Fenway and Kenmore area. Local parking lots charge upwards of $50 when the Sox are in town.

Boston Parking

If your stay in Beantown is anything longer than a day, you are going to need to find monthly parking in Boston. Otherwise, you’ll be competing with a scarcity of meters, two-hour limits on meters that you can find, and the thousands of other commuters in the same bind as you. That’s where ParkingSpotter comes in.

ParkingSpotter allows the owner of a parking spot to post his or her property for free. Parking seekers then search for parking near their address, and all nearby parking lots and parking garages are displayed. The process for finding parking in Boston could not be simpler or more efficient. The prices of all available spaces are listed, along with a description of whether the parking space is covered or not.

When you have more parking options, you will also have more housing options. Too often, parking in Boston dictates where Bostonians make their homes. Apartments with available parking command much larger rents than those without. In fact, those who can’t rely on the MBTA to get them to work each morning often find themselves paying high rent to live in an apartment in a poor location, simply because the apartment has a space for their car. Parking in Boston shouldn’t dictate your living situation.

Broaden your housing search by taking “with parking” out of your search. You are likely to find apartments in better locations with lower rents. And the money you save can be put towards a monthly parking spot that will make your daily commute a little less stressful.
