Wickenburg, AZ 10 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Back in 1866, Wickenburg was one of the three largest towns in the state of Arizona and became famous as the birthplace of the bola tie, the official neck wear of Arizona. Two votes were all it took to prevent Wickenburg from becoming the state capital at that time, but missing the state capital has kept Wickenburg with its Old West flair intact. The sun-baked desert hills surrounding town sprout with saguaro cacti, providing a picturesque backdrop for vacationers escaping winter snows. You probably won't be able to fry an egg on the sidewalk, as the town's 2,000 foot elevation makes it a bit cooler than the sizzling city of Phoenix 60 miles to its south. But dramatic summer thunderstorms bring the desert alive with the sweet smell of chaparral and exotic lightning shows. About 6,000 people call Wickenburg's 12 square miles home, averaging about 568 people per square mile. View Wickenburg 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 Wickenburg renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
