"If Hicksville, like so many other Long Island places, had an Indian name, it might be translated as "place of many little houses and big stores" in tribute to this solid, old-line, mid-Nassau County communitys expanses of snug Cape Cods, split-levels and ranches, and its two retail giants." John Rather, New York Times
Located in eastern Nassau County and the dead center, north-south wise, of Long Island is the hamlet of Hicksville. An unincorporated collective area within the Town of Oyster Bay, Hicksville is bordered on the south by the eponymous Levittown, and has many similar qualities to the post-World War II version of suburbia. Along the many main arteries that crowd the town such as Old Country Road, Broadway, and Newbridge Roadare a series of strip malls, furniture stores, and other types of commercial development. The most notable industrial aspect of Hicksville is the large Broadway Mall, which is home to IKEA, Macys, Target, a large multiplex and around 100 other shops--shopaholics will swoon. 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 Hicksville renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
