Pascagoula, MS

18 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Pascagoula's roots as a small fishing town in South Mississippi are still obvious. It hosts an annual Kids Fishing Rodeo, and a former Congressman and native son's nickname was William "Fishbait" Miller. However, the city has continued to develop, with World War II marking its shift into an industry-driven town. Local lore of the Pascagoula tribe, famous natives such as Jimmy Buffet and a supposed 1973 alien abduction underline the color and characters to be found in the small town that answers to the nickname "Mississippi's Flagship City." Even as the shipbuilding industry created growth and marked the town as more than a fishing hole, its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and nearby beach towns keep its water sports, fishing and arts scene more in line with the peaceful Southern town that the moss-draped oaks and antebellum architecture indicate.

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