Nicholasville, KY

85 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

While Nicholasville has way more going for it than just safe locks (though seriously, Google the Harry C. Miller Lock Collection—any museum sporting 24,000 square feet of locks is impressive in our books), that charming little quirk does give you a great feel for the city. Nicholasville dates back to 1798. They’ve done an excellent job at preserving their past through museums like the Old Jessamine County Jail (a restored 1870s jailer’s home), they now also act as a major commuter city for Lexington, which is located just 9 miles north. Nicholasville has a lifetime of attractions to explore, including vineyards (First Vineyard which, as its name might imply, was here long before its competitors), civil war heritage parks and sprawling equestrian centers.

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