Old Jamestown, MO 113 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Though most people refer to Old Jamestown a city, it's technically a CDP--Census Designated Place--outside of St. Louis, Missouri and neighboring Florissant, Missouri. The Old Jamestown Association (OJA) preserves the town's historical legacy, verifying the validity (or lack thereof) of historical anecdotes, acting as a sort of city council for residents, and otherwise keeping the peace and preserving the history around these parts. As of the 2010 census, Old Jamestown had a population of 19, 184 and a population density much higher than those found elsewhere in the state (this owing to the town's small square mileage).

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