Richmond Hill, GA

98 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Richmond Hill covers a wide expanse of over 14 square miles and has a population of 9,281 as of the 2010 census. Along the east of the city winds the Ogeechee River, with an area of flat savannah on the opposite edge. The town is also known to be a militia town, with nearly 10% of the workforce employed by the armed forces. This gives it a distinctly military feel, while most who aren't in the armed forces work for small local businesses numbering 20 employees or less. There's a good mix of owner- and renter-occupied housing in the city, with three-bedroom houses being the most prolific type of available rental houses. However, more than 20% of the market is also taken up by apartment buildings, so rental apartments are still common. However, places with no bedrooms are rare, so don't expect to find too many studio apartments for rent in Richmond Hill. 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 Richmond Hill renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
