Troy, OH 21 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Troy is far from being the largest place on Earth (according to the 2010 Census, its population is 25,058, and it covers less than 12 square miles) but it has grown a lot since 1833, when it had just 80 homes, a jail, courthouse, two taverns and seven stores. However, for a town of its size, there's a surprising amount going on. As such, it's the perfect place to make your home if you'd like to live somewhere that combines small-town sensibilities with the kinds of cultural pursuits that you'd expect to find in a bigger 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 Troy renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
