Marysville, CA 16 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Originally part of the massive land area controlled by John Sutter that stretched all the way down to what is now Sacramento to the south, the city of Marysville was founded on all of the promise of California's heady gold rush days. The town's history predates California's admission to the Union. The town takes its name from Mary Murphy Covillaud, wife of an early founding rancher and survivor of the fabled Donner Party. Its founders envisioned it as the "New York of the Pacific" thanks to its role as a hub of banking and travel related to the gold rush. Alas, the gold ran out eventually and mining caused a few nasty cycles of floods. View Marysville 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 Marysville renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
