Webster Groves, MO 254 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Webster Groves, MO is more like a big inner-city neighborhood of the "Gateway City" of St. Louis than a typical, legitimate suburb. If the term suits you, label it a "city within a city." Webster Groves evolved as an upscale enclave in the late 1800s. It came about from a desire to develop an adjacent local area as welcome relief to the congestion and stuffy urban air of St. Louis. Residents of Webster Groves enjoy a more kicked-back-type lifestyle than their big-city counterparts. According to the United States Census Bureau's 2010 report, Webster Groves had 22, 995 residents occupying 5.9 square miles in total area. Situated a mere two miles as the crow flies from the greater St. Louis city boundary, it affords a piece-of-cake daily commute for those earning their livelihoods in the nearby big city.

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