Ancient Oaks, PA 93 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

A suburb of Pennsylvania's third largest city, Ancient Oaks is far enough away from Allentown to feel like a world unto itself, yet close enough to serve as an accessible alternative for those not quite ready yet to abandon amenities and conveniences of the big city. In fact, the sleepy suburb is less than 10 miles from the county seat of Lehigh County, serving as a tranquil sanctuary for many working in and around Allentown. The 2.2 miles of attractive single-family homes and townhouses that make up Ancient Oaks is part of Lower Macungie Township, the fastest growing area of Pennsylvania in terms of total population growth.

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 Ancient Oaks renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
