Decatur, TX

13 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

While Decatur might not be the cultural capital of the world, it's a small, laid back town, where the rate of violent crime is vastly lower than the national average, as well as the average for the state of Texas. Of course, you're not going to find haute couture or all night raves here, but if you're after that kind of thing, you probably wouldn't be thinking of moving to Decatur anyway! Besides, if you get tired of what the town has to offer, you're only about 25 miles from Fort Worth and 45 miles from central Dallas, where you'll be able to find much more in the way of action and adventure.

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