New Windsor, NY

50 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

By American standards, New Windsor has been around a long time; it was founded in 1762, and was named after Windsor, England. It's best known for its pivotal role in the Revolutionary War, when it served as an important depot for the Continental Army and its medical department. You can even visit the army's last encampment here, as well as a number of historical buildings from the period. With a population of 8,822, New Windsor manages to maintain its own small town identity, so that it's hard to believe that it's only 55 miles from the Big Apple. Somehow, the shadow of New York City never quite reaches this gentle, historic town, and this makes it an ideal place for folks to live who prefer to work in the city and commute home to a quieter place.

Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.

Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.

You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.

Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.

Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.

Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for New Windsor renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
