Bordentown, NJ 116 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Bordentown is named after Joseph Borden, who is credited with developing one of the first systems of transportation to take people and freight from New York City to Philadelphia in 1740. To this day, Bordentown's prime location means it has the shortest access to Perth Amboy for easy transport of goods and people to the greater NYC area. Residents of Bordentown enjoy all the charm of small-town living, and rave about the exceptionally maintained parks. Bordentown has a population of just under 4,000; however, it is growing because of the intrinsic charm and historic value (it's home to founder of the American Red Cross Clara Barton, for one) of the community.

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