186 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

A city dominated by homeowners (who account for more than 80% of residents), Arnold isn’t a city with too many apartments for rent. But don’t mistake a lack of quantity for a lack of quality. Apartments in Arnold tend to come equipped with dynamite amenities including furnished interiors, modern appliances, custom cabinets, fireplaces, patios/balconies, and on-site laundry facilities. And yes, pets (including dogs) are often welcome at rental properties in Arnold; just set aside an extra $25 to $50 in rent each month if you require a pet-friendly rental.

If you’re looking for a cheap apartment in the St. Louis area, you might want to concentrate on other parts of town (i.e., University City or North County) instead of Arnold. It’s not that apartments in Arnold are outrageously priced by any means (the average rental goes for around $800), but they’re hardly among the metro area’s cheapest, either. On the bright side, the apartments in Arnold are generally located in safe, family-friendly neighborhoods in quality school districts (which can’t be said for some other areas of the Gateway City).

Arnold, although not nearly as rural as other parts of Jeff Co., is still a quiet, mostly spread out little suburb that’s geared especially towards married couples, families with kids, and other settled adults. If you’re looking for a hopping, big city ambiance, you might feel a bit out of sorts in Arnold.

Because there aren’t too many people in Arnold who choose to rent, units are almost always available at the few rental properties in the city. In other words, you can feel free to shop the market thoroughly and leisurely without worrying about the perfect Arnold, Missouri apartment slipping through your grasp.

There really isn’t a bad part of Arnold, so don’t worry about finding yourself trapped in a lease in an East St. Louis-like danger zone. In fact, unless you consider mesh hats and cut-off NASCAR t-shirts a crime, you’re unlikely to encounter much malfeasance in Arnold.

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