Northbrook, OH

140 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Northbrook is a developing, quaint suburb of Cincinnati. It is a great place to be if you want to get away from the city buzz, but still crave all of the amenities the "Queen City" has to offer, such as theatres, museums, art galleries and sports. The weather in Northbrook is a quite pleasant, with winters that are warmer than the rest of Ohio, thanks to its close proximity to the Ohio River. But don't get too down at the thought of never having a white Christmas, as you're likely to see Northbrook covered in a layer of white every once in a while after a snow dusting. The best part is, the light dustings mean you probably won't even have to invest in a snow shovel - so you get the best of both worlds! The flip side of this is that in the summer it can get hot and humid, which is why it may be a good idea to try and find an apartment that has both heating and cooling options installed. Don't forget to pack your swimmies and sunscreen! 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 Northbrook renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
