Scotchtown, NY

10 Apartments for Rent with Gyms

Scotchtown is a hamlet between the towns of Wallkill and Middletown in Orange County, New York. Just over 9,200 people called this 4.2 square mile piece of prime New York property home in 2010, and the area continues to grow, mostly because when people settle in Scotchtown, they tend to stay. Census data from 2010 shows that home owners average nine years in their current house, and renters had been in the same spot for at least four years. With July high temperatures hovering in the mid-80s, you get a real taste of summer, and although winter lows dip into the teens, the area only sees six to eight inches of monthly snow during the colder months. The hamlet is considered part of the metropolitan New York area, with the city about 73 miles to the south and accessible by highway or rail. See more

Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to Scotchtown renters looking to get fit and slash their gym membership. However, not all gyms are the same.

Make a list of your must-haves in a gym setting. Ask about the variety and age of any cardio machines. Also ask about any weight training equipment and free weights.

Consider the spaciousness of the workout area. Some apartment gyms are small. Those can create tension with tenants looking to squeeze in a workout before or after work.

If you enjoy circuit training, make sure there’s enough space to spread out and get in the workout you want.

Cleanliness is also crucial to an apartment gym experience. During your apartment tour, carefully inspect the fitness area to check for cleanliness and any extra perks. Also consider the potential savings if you can cancel a gym membership!

Towels, an attendant, flat-screen TVs, and a locked door for exclusive tenants access can all add value to your apartment gym experience.
