Nederland, TX 29 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Founded in 1897 by Dutch settlers, Nederland translates to "Lowland" in Dutch. The Dutch settlers were given the territory of Nederland as repayment for funding the Kansas City Southern railroad. To this day, Nederland remains an outlier in Texas with many of the street names maintaining their English and Dutch roots. At first, Nederland was an economic powerhouse in the community because of their rice and dairy farming. However, the discovery of oil in 1901 has led to a transformation of the economy in this Texas town. Nederland is characterized by an eclectic vibe that incorporates their Dutch history with a Louisiana Cajun flair. View Nederland 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 Nederland renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
