73 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

The first settler came to the town in 1828 at the site that is upriver from Astoria, Oregon, which was settled in 1811 and is the oldest continuous settlement on the West Coast of the United States. These days, the gravelly plain is covered with farms growing all manner of agricultural products, including luscious strawberries that can be found in fruit stands and farmers' markets all throughout the area. The town itself is at the edge of the plain, huddled up against the foothills of the Coast Range Mountains. The contrast of evergreen-covered hills and farm plain with river beyond makes for a scenic and serene valley scene. It's a town that has been influenced by natural resources for a long time. Logging in the area was a big part of the economy and gravel mining for road construction in nearby Portland also played a role in its development. 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 Scappoose renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
