Griffith, IN 85 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Although Griffith has a relatively small population (16,893 according to the 2010 census) and isn't the most happening spot on the planet, it's actually part of the Chicago Great Metropolitan Area (despite being in a different state -- weird, right?), so you'll never be too far from the action. Having grown from being a small farming area, there's a good sense of community in Griffith and you can find a number of town events going on throughout the year. View Griffith 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 Griffith renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
