Orange Beach, AL 94 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Orange Beach is a city in Baldwin County, Alabama and is the most eastern community on the Alabama Gulf Coast. If you head just a little too far east you'll be in Florida's Perdido Key. To the west is the more well-known beach community of Gulf Shores, Alabama. There are about 5,400 permanent residents in Orange Beach as of the 2010 census. With about fourteen and half square miles of dry land, this makes for some pretty spread out living. But, everyone wants to be on the beach because this beach is among the most beautiful in the world. The sand is a beautiful white variety because it is mostly made up of quartz grains that were, believe it or not, washed down out of the Appalachian Mountains. Of course, this happened thousands of years ago, but what luck for you now! Who needs the Caribbean when the coast of Alabama is so gorgeous? View Orange Beach 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 Orange Beach renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
