Coweta, OK

57 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Historical by any account, Coweta once belonged to the glorious Creek Nation community and its Muscogee population (the original Creeks). Not surprisingly, these Native Americans are still very much part of the city's social and cultural fabric. And how did the name Coweta come about? The city was actually named after a Creek Indian war town along Georgia's Chattahoochee River. The legacy continued when the American Presbyterian missionary Robert Loughridge, upon reaching the area, established a mission named Koweta. Settled for the first time in 1849, Coweta has the unique distinction of being a city, as well as a suburb of Tulsa, which lies around 25 miles northeast. Occupying a total area of 7.7 square miles and with a population of 9,943 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census, the city enjoys a temperate climate with light snowfall during winters. The Coweta American, a weekly published every Wednesday, is the local newspaper. 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 Coweta renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
