Leominster, MA 36 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Founded in 1740, the city of Leominster has a long and varied history. Starting off as a farming community, it quickly industrialized in the 19th century, and became an early producer of plastic, one of the first in America. It's now moved away from manufacturing, and is one of the largest retail destinations in Central Massachusetts. This, combined with low land prices, and a lower cost of living, makes it a popular community for commuters to Boston and Worcester. The large number of performance groups, art programs, theaters, and the ever popular Thayer Symphony Orchestra are also pleasant diversions for city residents and frequently draw crowds from the nearby communities.

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