Big Bear City, CA 27 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Big Bear City is a bit of a trickster, because it's not technically a city at all. It is actually an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, nestled within the larger area of Big Bear Lake. So maybe Big Bear non-city would be a more fitting name. Its 12,304 residents can apparently see past the confusing name, and maybe you can, too, once you take a look at the rental housing here. View Big Bear 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 Big Bear City renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
