Located in Bergen County, NJ is a small place called Glen Rock. Glen Rock is a haven for commuters, just a short drive to New York City, which is right across the Hudson River. Founded in 1894 when it was officially formed from portions of two other towns -- Ridgewood and Saddle River, Glen Rock has 11,601 residents as of the 2010 census. It was given the name Glen Rock due to the large boulder in the center of town, which weighs in at 570 short tons, and is believed to have been deposited by a retreating glacier long ago.

What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with balconies in Glen Rock, NJ

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