Quartz Hill, CA 48 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Quartz Hill is a census-designated place in the eastern part of Los Angeles County. So it's not exactly within walking distance of the beach or downtown L.A. -- unless you plan to walk for an hour -- but it is near the fairly well-known cities of Lancaster and Palmdale. It is also about a half hour away from Angeles National Forest and Castaic Lake. That means if you like the idea of being a reasonable drive away from the coast, lush trees, and lots of canyons and lakes, you'll probably appreciate Quartz Hill just as much as its 10,912 residents do.

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 Quartz Hill renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
