Hershey, PA

26 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Hershey, Pennsylvania began life as a model company town, but it's grown into one of the nation's top tourist attractions. Built by Hershey Chocolate founder Milton S. Hershey in 1907 as an idyllic place for his employees to enjoy their lives after working hours, it soon began to attract others because of its bucolic, small town charm. With a population of 14,257, it continues to be the international headquarters for Hershey Chocolate, but is also a thriving resort town with mega attractions for all ages. With all this going on, Hershey is still just a small town at heart, with an authentic Main Street USA vibe that cuts through all the tourist attractions. If you're longing for the bright lights of the big city, Harrisburg is only 15 miles away -- but then, Harrisburg doesn't have chocolate rides. 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 Hershey renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
