Only a few hundred yards across Head of Bay, you'll catch a glimpse of John F. Kennedy Airport. Something for the international jet-setters to bear in mind! Cedarhurst is actually a part of what's now called the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Metro Area, just don't try saying that with your mouth full! 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 Cedarhurst renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
