Fresno, Texas, does indeed have ties to Fresno, California. Supposedly, a settler from the Fresno in California came to this area in now Fort Bend County in Texas and named it Fresno.
Fresno started with a post office and a general store, but really didn't become a happening place until it built a telephone connection. Fresno, with 19,069 inhabitants according to the 2010 U.S. Census, is within Houston's range, but is absolutely its own town. Fresno still possesses that old Texas feel, and horses are a common sight. Yet Houston's expansion has led to a population boom, and the area looks to be charging toward tomorrow, wearing a cotton T-shirt, of course.

Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Fresno 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.
