134 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Butler's history runs along the Pequannock River, where the Newborough Hard Rubber Company and the Pequannock Paper Company established, bringing prosperity, jobs, and population beginning in the late 19th century. Although those factories burned down, the old-school downtown remained and has many charming shops, including the ever-popular High Point Brewing Company, a full brewery which offers tours and tastings of their popular Ramstein beer. Even though Butler is only 35 miles from Manhattan, it feels like a whole other universe, filled with families in small homes and close to nature. Surrounded by Norvin Green State Forest, Pyramid Mountain and Farny State Park, it's easy to feel like you're living the country lifestyle. Silas Condict State Park, right on the edge of town, is particularly known for its outdoor recreation opportunities. And only an hour's drive to the birthplace of punk music (CBGB's) ? It's like having your cake and eating it too. 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 Butler renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
