Clearlake, CA 3 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Situated in the heart of the "kneecap" of Northern California, Clearlake in total consists of a little over 10 square miles of land, with over 15,200 residents, at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. Within these 10 square miles, even in the city's center, nearly 50% of the main roads here remain unpaved, creating a difficult traverse from work to home and points in between. No problem if you have a four-wheeler or a monster truck.

For California, the weather here has definitive seasonal changes, with snow in the higher altitudes; but, for the most part, what you expect from California, you will get here. With lows in the low 30s during the winter months to highs in the low 90s in the summer, you will need appropriate attire--but, hey, at least you're in California, right? View Clearlake 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 Clearlake renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
