Spanish Lake, MO 157 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Where the Missouri River takes a hook before blending into the mighty Mighty Mississippi, you will find the Saint Louis suburb of Spanish Lake, Missouri. The actual lake that gives the town its name isn't very big -- but it is scenic. Encircled by a hiking and bike path that courses through trees, it's a great spot to spend some easy time escaping the summer heat. The farm country in the floodplain that forms the bump inside the path of the Missouri River gives a nice country contrast to the big metropolitan area on the other side.

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