Monument, CO 103 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

"Pike's Peak or Bust!" was the motto of gold seekers flocking to the Colorado Springs area in the 1850s. Colorado Spring's rapid growth gave rise to a booming timber industry that birthed the town of Monument in the hills north of the city. Tucked away in the aspen and pine-strewn hills, the town nestles among three lakes in the Tri-Lake area. Monument's historic downtown flourishes side-by-side with modern industry ranging from manufacturing and technology to retailers and professional services. View Monument 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 Monument renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
