Some funny things have happened in Medford. In 1907, the Long Island Railroad created the Medford Prosperity Farm -- an undertaking to demonstrate that things could grow in the flat wilderness that is the Long Island Central Pine Barrens. President Theodore Roosevelt decided to visit the Prosperity Farm, but as he drove between Medford and Wading River, his car got stuck in the mud. To get out, President Roosevelt was said to have taken a "flying leap!"
Medford, NY is a nice suburban town located in Long Island. The town itself is actually a part of a bigger town -- Brookhaven -- but Medford has its own characteristics, personality, and neighborhoods. Medford became known when it became a stop on the Long Island Railroad. That was in 1843. The town then was not much but a bunch of flat land and tress. However, today, a thriving community has been built -- one where people live to commute into the big city nearby (New York City!) and also the Hamptons -- but also where people live to work, play, get to know their neighbors, and find a safe and peaceful home. Moving to Medford offers great, affordable suburban living with awesome access to some of the Northeast's very best amenities. 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 Medford renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
