Wantagh, New York, is considered the "Gateway to Jones Beach". Jones Beach is a state park of New York, located in southern Nassau County, on Jones Beach Island, a barrier island linked to Long Island. Jones Beach includes an outdoor arena in the park, which is a popular music and concert venue.
Wantagh isn't really a city, but a hamlet and a census-designated place in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, Long Island, New York. It's kind of a mouthful, but you'll get used to it. Home to nearly 19,000 people (per 2010 U.S. Census data), Wantagh was named for the chief of the local Merokee tribe in 1647. Early European immigrants to the area actually called it Jerusalem, then later Ridgewood, before finally reverting to its tribal reference of Wantagh. In 1790, George Washington rode through Wantagh -- known then as Jerusalem -- as part of his Long Island tour. 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 Wantagh renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
