Do any of you currently park your car in a garage? If so, on average what do you pay per month and what if any benefits would you say you get from parking in a garage? The autumn chill is in the air and before you know it winter will be upon us and I am a bit tired of having to dig the car out every time there is a snow storm.
We try not to. We currently park in a lot usually that we're being allowed to use at a cheap price because we know the owner personally, but we'd like to store the car inside and are considering in door parking. The main issues are the distances of the indoor garages from our residence and the cost, as we pay next to nothing to park in the lot.
I'm confused. When you say "off-street parking vs parking in a garage" do you mean that you already have off-street parking, like in a driveway or parking lot, and you are thinking of upgrading to a garage?
I'm curious about this too. I moved up here last year, but with no car. My gf is moving up soon tho and she's bringing her car. So are you able to just park in any building's garage, as long as they have space & you pay whatever cost? You don't have to necessarily live in that building?

I live in Kew Gardens and it totally depends on the building. Where we live now, yes, they rent out spaces to people who don't live in the building as does a building around the corner from us. However, the last place we lived didn't but that was because they had a waiting list for spots. Our current building doesn't.
We pay $200/month but it is totally worth it--no shoveling, no getting the outside mirrors broken off (happened twice in one month), no bird poop, no dings/dents, etc. And no driving around for 15 minutes looking for a spot.
Henna,
I think the OP probably meant "ON-street parking."
No, we currently park in a lot, but outside where it is exposed to the elements. That's why I said off-street parking.

Our dilemma is any indoor garage would be a slight walk and of course more than what we currently pay since the spot we rent the spot we have from a friend.
