36 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Despite its name, Pacific, MO is nowhere close to an ocean. However, that doesn't mean it lacks a number of great reasons to live there. Pacific is a small city located in the Franklin and St. Louis counties in Missouri. The population is just over 7,000, making it a great size to live in. It was started in 1852, it was originally known as Franklin, but was renamed shortly thereafter once the railroad laid tracks in town. It borders the Pacific Palisades Conservation Area, which provides access to the beautiful Meramec River. The historic Union Pacific railroad runs through town, as does the well-known Route 66, commonly known as Main Street of America, so it's true that Pacific embodies the true spirit of the middle of America. Pacific is located in the eastern part of Missouri, with 5.92 square miles of land and 0.01 square miles of water. See more

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