156 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

You can't really talk about the Jersey Shore without bringing up a Springsteen song. Maybe the crew from the reality show "Jersey Shore" has put it in a more dubious light, but reality television is not really reality, right? Brigantine, New Jersey is just a quick 15-minute drive over the bridge from Atlantic City, but is a world away from the gambling, nightlife boardwalk atmosphere of that part of the Jersey Shore. If you want it, you can easily have your fun and then retreat to your little island. For a bigger city experience, you can be in Philadelphia in just over an hour, and on a good traffic day, Brigantine is only two hours from New York City. 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 Brigantine renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
