Ferguson, MO 101 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Located in St. Louis County not far from downtown St. Louis, Missouri, Ferguson is about 6.2 miles in size, with just over 21,000 residents. The town has an interesting claim to fame -- its streetcar line. The Florissant streetcar line was the longest streetcar route in the United States and began as the West End Narrow Gauge Railway. When the streetcar line ended around 1950, replaced by bus lines, the history of public transportation in town made Ferguson easily accessible and a popular residence known for its great shopping options, lovely parks and green space.

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