Along the stunning Rocky Mountains, you’ll find Lakewood, Colorado – an area that is most famous for its Bear Creek Lake Park, which attracts half a million visitors a year. This begs the question – where should you store your vehicle when exploring all Lakewood has to offer?
While Lakewood’s summers are mild, the winters can be brutal, often racking up a whopping 67 inches of annual snowfall. For this reason, you’ll want to choose your car storage or parking option carefully. Otherwise, your vehicle will end up buried under a mountain of Colorado snow (especially if you plan to leave your car unattended for months at a time).
Don’t worry! Neighbor is here to save the day once more with a variety of options for monthly parking and car storage: Lakewood, CO edition.

Monthly parking tips
Can You Park Anywhere In Lakewood?
On private property in Lakewood, CO, residents can park up to seven vehicles, including trailers, on a single-family lot. Duplexes allow four per unit. Two inoperable or unlicensed vehicles can be stored in a private driveway or parking garage as long as they are shielded from public view by a car cover or fence.
Currently, Lakewood doesn’t impose limits on the number of operable vehicles that can be parked on the streets. Despite these lax policies, Lakewood residents may struggle to find the perfect parking spot, especially near popular areas. Luckily, with Neighbor, you can rent unused driveways and garages from residents, which are safe, convenient, and affordable alternatives to traditional parking options.
It doesn’t matter whether you live in a big city like Boise, a smaller city like Lakewood, or a city in a neighboring state (like Meridian, ID), Neighbor has storage options for you.
