Walden, NY

44 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Walden's roots as a mill town are still evident today, as its 7,000 citizens continue to produce goods and services used nationwide. Thanks to the city's prime location on the Wallkill River, individuals and manufacturers have chosen Walden for their home since the early 1700s. In fact, during the Civil War, Walden was better known to locals as "Knifetown" because most of the cutlery that the Union Army used was made in Walden. Tree-lined streets, water views, and the small-town atmosphere add to the ample economic opportunity present, making Walden just as popular today as it has been over the past 300 years. See more

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 Walden renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
