Rincon, GA

48 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Rincon is found in the southeastern part of Effingham County, about 30 miles from the Georgia coast. It's a pretty young town, all things considered -- with just over 8,800 residents, at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. The town was not incorporated until 1927, when the railroad was laid through the area. The name Rincon is Spanish for "corner," and it's believed that the town was named for a Mexican village by the same name, or due to the fact that the railroad within town had a bend in its path. Rincon is unique in its layout: the incorporated city limits of the area form a circle that's two-and-a-half miles in diameter, resulting in a population density of about 650 people per mile. It's not overcrowded, but the folks are friendly, and there's plenty to do. Rincon embodies the feel of small-town Georgia, but remains close enough to bigger cities that the residents can find whatever they need. 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 Rincon renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
