Boonton, NJ 215 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

With only about 2.5 square miles and a U.S. Census population of 8,496 in 2010, Boonton should remain content as a sleepy town in Morris County, New Jersey. But the locals are quick to point out that such major corporations as Unigen for pharmaceuticals, Marsen for industrial manufacturing and Packard for antique automotive equipment provide ample support for the local economy. The town also provides historic buildings and annual events to keep its residents happy. View Boonton City Guide

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