White Meadow Lake, NJ

112 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Since Kitchel's day, when White Meadow Lake, N.J., was the center of iron mining, the area has become almost entirely residential. There are plenty of larger rental houses as well as a few apartments for rent in the unincorporated community which lies centrally in Morris County, New Jersey. In 2010, the population stood at 8,836 in an area of about four square miles. The lake, from which the community is named, covers an area of about half a square mile and it is maintained by the White Meadow Lake Property Owners Association. This group looks after access to the lake and its beaches, as well as provides boat docks, a clubhouse and other facilities. In the winter, it is possible for residents to skate on the lake. Not everywhere you might search for a home for rent can offer that, right? White Meadow Lake is part of the Rockaway Township and Interstate 80 splits the two communities from one another, forming a manmade southern boundary. 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 White Meadow Lake renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
