Silver Springs Shores, FL 144 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Silver Springs Shores is an area with just 6,500 residents, spread over about 4.8 square miles. Unlike most of Florida, Silver Springs Shores is inland. It gets its name from Spring Lake and Lake Sparkle, both found in the center of town. While this town lacks the ocean views found in most of Florida, Silver Springs Shores has something that much of the area does not -- access to beautiful, natural landscapes, courtesy of the Cross Florida Greenway and the Ocklawaha Prairie Restoration area.

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 Silver Springs Shores renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
