Upper Saddle River, NJ 195 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Upper Saddle River -- not to be confused with its neighbor and zip-code buddy Saddle River -- is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey. It was settled by the Dutch in the 19th century, who used the powerful waters of Saddle River to build mills along the banks of the river. Proclaimed an official borough in 1894, this community experienced heavy growth along with the rest of suburban New Jersey, but has remained steady since the 1970s. As of the latest census, there were over 8,000 residents. View Upper Saddle River 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 Upper Saddle River renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
