Milton, FL 157 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Resting at the base of Blackwater Bay, just a short jaunt from the Gulf of Mexico, Milton was originally nicknamed "Scottman's Anchorage" for all the barges that rolled down the river. Its later nickname was "Scratch Ankle," for the itchiness one would get from walking through all the briers and brambles that grew here. Images of timber, ships and railroads detail the storied history of the town. While the residents who live here have one foot in the past, they also have one foot stepping forward, ready to carve out their dreams in the Florida panhandle. View Milton 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 Milton renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
