I’m in an old rowhome apartment that uses gas for heat and my bill last month was $170 😭 gas gets split by % between the other apartments in my rowhome. My electric bill was $40. I’m in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment and my utilities are definitely on the higher side. To be fair my base rent was a steal for the place so it offsets the high cost of gas.

Just moved here and went through the same parking ordeal. Symphony garage is $130 a month and probably the cheapest garage you’ll find, depending on where in Mt Vernon it may or may not be too far for your preference. If you keep your eyes peeled, rental property companies will post parking spots behind homes available for rent and they can be cheaper. I snagged one for $95 a month. It’s okay as a backup spot but in the week and a half I’ve moved here I’ve only used it twice and I’ve left the house nearly everyday. I say it’s only okay because it’s actually a tough parking spot to get into (very small lot with other cars that park like a-holes). Otherwise I’m able to find parking on the streets without too much trouble.

Thank you for you input, it is incredibly helpful!! I didn’t think about moving my car elsewhere so my partner could just use my garage spot. Definitely much easier! Also glad to hear about the weekend parking. I think I will stick with mt vernon after all and I am super excited to get settled. Now just have to find some parking garages!

This is helpful thank you! Did not realize there was ample parking by there. Do you know what the parking signs say if anything? Just want to double check! If my partner can park there without a sticker that would great as it’s just a 5 min drive and don’t mind that at all. I also may end up paying for a lot/garage myself so leaving my parking spot to pick him up wouldn’t be an issue.
