Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much is rent for an apartment with a balcony in The Meadows?

Rental prices for apartments with balconies in The Meadows range from $1,800 to $4,000 per month.

How many apartments with balconies are available for rent in The Meadows?

Currently, there are 3 apartments with balconies available for rent in The Meadows.
What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with balconies in The Meadows, FL

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