Taunton, MA 88 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

When Elizabeth Poole left England in the early 1600s, she must have known she was a pioneer. However, she might not have known she would go down in history as the first woman to settle a town in the New World, making a name for women before feminism! Maybe she would have been a little less eager if she had known that mobster and career criminal Gordon OBrien would hail from Taunton as his hometown, and she might not have approved of the city providing the setting for the film Shutter Island, but certainly she would have been pleased by Tauntons more reputable characters poet Laureate Joseph Gouveia, Stephanie Cutter, Deputy Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama, and American Idol contestant Nicholas Pedro.

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