Chicopee, MA 29 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

The City of Chicopee was originally four villages, a geographic divide that has created distinct neighborhoods: Willimansett, Fairview, Chicopee Center, Aldenville, Chicopee Falls, or Burnett Road, any of which will be the perfect place to unpack your boxes.

There is a wide range of available apartments for rent, from newer units located in the outer neighborhoods to historically renovated and centrally located lofts. The price of rent will not vary drastically from one neighborhood to the next (average rent around $900) with the exception of three neighborhood/housing combinations:

Willimansett, located on the outer edge of the city limits, has more a suburban feel and cheap apartments. Rent a two bedroom townhouse close to highway access and green space or a sunny two bedroom in a brownstone building located in the denser area of Willimansett, either for around $700-$850.

The centrally situated apartments for rent in the Chicopee Center neighborhood, located on the Chicopee River, are old but well kept. Beautifully renovated lofts in historic factories can cost well over $1,000 per month.

The Burnett Road area can be pricier but as always it can depend on the unit. This area includes Country Club Estates and the city’s country club, so be prepared for newer construction and square footage with views. Burnett Road in addition to Williamanset will be your go-to neighborhoods for pet friendly apartments.

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