Officially, New Providence is a borough, or boro, a New Jersey peculiarity. It's not the same as a borough in NYC, which indicates part of a greater whole. Instead, it's an independent municipal government with a mayor and borough council members who are all elected. It's a party over here!
There's no question that New Providence is a bedroom community since a lot of its mattresses host commuters from Manhattan. But those who don't want to travel find corporate HQs and branches in town that are always looking for top-notch employees. In addition, residents enjoy gently curving treelined streets, over a dozen recreation facilities, and nonstop shopping in the neocolonial ambiance of the Village Shopping Center. 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 New Providence renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
