Ringwood, New Jersey: The Town of Two Mansions. Ringwood features not one but two huge beautiful mansions that were converted into state parks, Ringwood Manor and Skylands Manor each with their own history‰Û_and their own ghosts! More on these later!
Ringwood, NJ is a borough tucked into the north east corner of Passaic County right up against where the more wooded area of New Jersey borders the Tuxedo and Suffern areas of New York State. Ringwood is a visually stunning place to live with winding roads, rolling hills and the beautiful Ramapo Mountains all a contributing to its natural beauty. According to the 2010 Census it has a population of roughly 12,300 people but you'd never know it because Ringwood is very spread out. Anyone traveling Skyline Drive at night can tell you that if you want to be alone Ringwood is where you can find peace and quiet. 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 Ringwood renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
