North Amityville, NY 94 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Spilling across the Southern State Parkway on Long Island, the CDP of North Amityville might be better known to some as that place where a Hollywood horror movie took place, but to others it's a sweet little parcel of land with affordable housing (for New York), relatively low crime rate and a commuter lifestyle. Head to the water and enjoy a scenic summer day by the pier catching fish or explore the considerable colonial history, if you're more the historical attractions type. If simple pleasures are your thing, welcome home. View North Amityville 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 North Amityville renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
