60 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Good things can come in small packages. With a population of nearly 5,000, Amelia, Ohio, is one of them. Tiny, charming Amelia was named after another charming Amelia (Bowdoin), a popular toll gate operator on the

Ohio Turnpike-Main Street. . Her home on Main Street is preserved across from where it was the original tollhouse. Amelia's first residents were stranded sailors from Massachusetts. During the Battle of New Orleans, the British sank their ship. The Ohio waters had receded too far for them to return by water, so they had to walk back. When they reached Clermont County, they decided they'd walked far enough. People have been stopping and falling for this village ever since. 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 Amelia renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
