Lake Dallas, TX 111 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

The community has existed since since 1852 and there has almost always been some confusion concerning its name.The history of the reservoirs resulting from tampering with the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in this area is even more confusing. This isn't a natural lake, you know, but folks who live here sure do love it! Suffice it to say that the waters have been known as Lake Dallas, Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, and now Lake Lewisville. It doesn't really matter, however -- all you really need to know is that if you live near here, you can be fishing or boating in short order. Residents of Lake Dallas, all 7,105 of them, like that.

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