7 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Cheap apartments, fortunately, are a dime a dozen in Milledgeville (actually, they cost a bit more than that, but you get the point, right?), which is great news for tenants on a Ramen noodle budget. Campus area studio apartments and basic one bedroom's are frequently available for $400 or less, with multi-bedroom rentals going for between $500 - $700, depending on size and amenities. You’ll also find a wide range of houses for rent in Milledgeville, as well as some spacious (1,000-plus square foot) luxury apartments. Just be sure to call in advance to see if a complex is currently accepting new tenants; some apartments fill up completely by mid-summer (just before the fall semester).

If you’re a GCSU student, you should probably begin to hunt for fancy new Milledgeville apartment no later than early spring to make sure you have the pick of the apartment litter. Also, if, like a handful of college Jo's out there, you have no credit, income, or renting history, you’ll need to have a cosigner in tow to score that perfect apartment rental.

Amenities at apartments in Milledgeville range from basic (laundry facilities, patio/balcony, kitchen appliances, etc.) to lavish (furnished interiors, swimming pool, gym, clubhouse, free Wi-Fi, and more). Obviously, you should take the time to visit an apartment complex and see its amenities package with your own eyes before committing to it. Also, if you’re bringing a furry four-legged roommate along with you, be prepared to pay an extra $25 - $50 in rent each month for a pet-friendly apartment or townhouse.

Wondering what part of town to begin your apartment search in Milledgeville? Most apartments are clustered around the city center and the GCSU campus. There’s definitely more of a college town feel to the historic downtown area, whose streets are lined with eclectic shops and eateries; the farther you get into the outskirts, the more suburban/homeowner-centric the neighborhoods become.

And now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time for the fun part: finding you the perfect apartment for rent in Milledgeville. Best of luck and happy hunting! See more

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