Orcutt, CA 27 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

As an incorporated town in Santa Barbara County, this named “census-designated place,” (don’t you just love those government labels?) along with its neighbor Santa Maria, make up the largest population center in the county. Yup, more people than Santa Barbara--victory! The town is a good place to lay your head, and maybe even fall in love with (if that's your thing). View Orcutt 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 Orcutt renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
