Clemson, SC 52 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

There are two prevailing schools of thought about Clemson: it's a very small town that offers those who live there little to do or it's a great home base for outdoor recreational opportunities that abound in the region. Indeed, Clemson is small. By the 2010 Census, the town's population was just less than 14,000. But that doesn't mean this town doesn't have a lot to offer, because it does -- really. It has gorgeous scenery, it's peaceful and it is close to areas that have a lot of activities. Clemson is bounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains on the north and Lake Hartwell on the west. To the east are Greenville and Anderson, larger towns which offer more varied shopping and dining opportunities. Two hours via Interstate 85 is metropolitan Atlanta with all the big-city delights you could want. In the foothills, you'll find plenty of places to explore waterfalls, hike, backpack or camp. A bit further north, there's snow skiing and tubing at various ski resorts. View Clemson City Guide

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 Clemson renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
