5 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Cheap apartments, you’ll be glad to know, rule the roost in Stephenville, where the average rental goes for only $700, and campus area apartments are usually available for considerably less. Amenities range from basic to lavish, depending on how many greenbacks you’re willing to fork over. However, even some of the most modestly priced rentals come equipped with modern appliances, gourmet kitchens, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, gyms, clubhouses, and more. Waiting lists, fortunately, are pretty much nonexistent in Stephenville, so feel free to shop the market leisurely without worrying about the perfect apartment slipping out of your grasp. And, don’t forget to bring along proof of income, banking info, two forms of I.D., and a list of previous residences when you’re ready to submit a leasing app. Also, if you’re a student with no job, no income, no credit, and no leasing history (hey, at least you still have your dashing good looks or something), you’ll need a respectable cosigner to help seal the deal.

Planning to share room and board with a furry four-footed roommate by any chance? Sounds like you’ll be needing a pet friendly apartment in Stephenville. Fortunately, you’ll find a nice selection of pet friendly (including dogs allowed) rentals in and around town. Just be prepared to pay an extra $25 or so in rent each month (or an equivalent one-time fee) if you’re roommate is of the feline, canine, bovine, or UFO variety.

Crime rates, fortunately, are extremely low throughout the city, and violent crime is extremely rare (so don’t bother packing your bullet-proof vest). Still, like pretty much any modern city, the “Cowboy Capitol of the World” does see its fair share of petty (dare we say keg party-inspired?) crime and vandalism. Obviously, be sure to visit Stephenville in advance to see if you’re comfy with its vibes before signing a lease. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet community surrounded by open spaces, cattle, and the occasional UFO sighting, you’re better off concentrating on the rentals farther away from TSU. Likewise, if you’re a student, you might feel a bit out of place on the wide open, landowner-occupied outskirts.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time for the fun part: finding you the apartment of your dreams in Stephenville, Texas. Best of luck and happy hunting! 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 Stephenville renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
