Medulla, FL

116 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

The population of the census-designated place (CDP) of Medulla was a little over 6,500 according to the figures from 2000. By the 2010 census, the number of inhabitants had risen to 8,892, showing that it is becoming an increasingly popular place to reside. Most of Medulla's housing was built from the 1980s-today, and is relatively modern. However, you can certainly find rental housing that dates back to the 1950s, but you are going to have to be willing to look for it. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Medulla sits on a site that is over five-and-a-half square miles of land, only a small percentage of which is water. This may come as a surprise to many newcomers who are looking for places to rent, especially given that the CDP lies in such a close proximity to Lakeland. Nevertheless, it should be said that Scott Lake, Banana Lake, Lake Hancock, and Lake Hollingsworth are all bodies of water which are near enough for aqua-lovers to access easily. See more

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