Fate, TX

166 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Located a few miles northeast of Dallas, the city of Fate encompasses a 6.8 square mile area along I-30, just east of Lake Ray Hubbard. The city's name is derived from one of the early settlers of the area and was actually a nickname that Lafayette Brown's wife used to call him. The town was settled in 1880 and incorporated in 1908, but few actually began to move here until after 2000. Now, the population has blossomed to include 7,442 people, and the economic growth is expected to continue. Because of the recent influx of residents, most of the apartment complexes in this gorgeous little city are brand spankin' new and ready for the loving care of new tenants! 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 Fate renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
