New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, hosts an annual apple harvest festival each September, even though October is National Apple Month. The apples are likely descendants from trees planted in Pennsylvania by the real Johnny Appleseed in the late 1700s. At least, it's fun to think so!
New Cumberland is a borough that is not even a whole dot on the map with its total landmass of 1.7 square miles. That doesn't mean it's any less proud of its community of 7,277 residents. Since it's approximately 95 percent residential, there's not much in New Cumberland in the way of attractions. Despite its "smallness," the little borough has some claims to fame. For one, its eastern border is on the Susquehanna River. It has an Olde Towne and hosts an annual Apple Harvest Festival. Also, the residents in New Cumberland can wave at the people living in the capital city of Harrisburg, which is on the other side of the river. Mostly, it's a place to hang your hat at night and get to know your neighbors. View New Cumberland City Guide
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 New Cumberland renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
