Wimauma, FL 142 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Wimauma, Florida (pronounced Why-MAUGH-muh) is an unincorporated area in western Florida about a 30 minute drive, or an eight hour walk, from the southern end of Tampa. But don't walk it; it's too hot outside here. It could almost be considered a suburb of the Tampa/St. Petersburg area, although the population crush of those city's doesn't quite extend as far as Wimauma. This is a rural community that is primarily residential, meaning you're not going to find a lot to do entertainment-wise within the boundaries of the town, and it's not located along a major highway or interstate. The Church of God Campground, a retreat center, is the closest thing Wimauma has to a community center. View Wimauma 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 Wimauma renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
