Port St. John, FL 106 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Port St. John is a small town on the banks of the Indian River and is about an hour's drive from Orlando, the East Coast home of Universal Studios and Walt Disney World. It is part of the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville Metropolitan Statistical Area. Census statistics put the population at around 12,267, but Port St. John is a small area, less than four square miles total, so people are packed in there pretty well. It's also very close to Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center and is within 10 or 15 miles of the Space Coast Regional Airport, so keep in mind the airplanes flying overhead at all hours if you're planning on moving here.

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 Port St. John renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
