What is “Condominium parking tandem” in a real estate listing? Is this some kind of tandem bicycle parking? Nope! This refers to a parking arrangement in which two or more vehicles are parked one behind the other in the same parking space or parking area. Unlike side-by-side parking spaces, tandem parking requires the front vehicle to be moved before the rear vehicle can exit, which can make the parking space significantly more difficult to use. Tandem parking is commonly found in condominium developments where available parking space is limited and is often assigned to a single unit.
When a real estate listing includes a Condominium Parking Tandem field, it indicates whether the unit includes tandem parking spaces. Buyers should verify how many vehicles the space accommodates, whether the tandem spaces are deeded, assigned, or limited common elements, and whether there are any restrictions on their use. Understanding the parking arrangement can help buyers determine whether it will meet their needs and avoid surprises after purchasing the condominium.
