Willis, TX

52 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Willis, Texas, was founded in 1870 after the Willis brothers donated their land to the Great Northern Railroad so it could build a route between Houston and Chicago. Willis, Texas, is a rapidly growing community in Montgomery County located 50 miles north of downtown Houston along Interstate 45. This town of 5,662 residents still has the down-home, small-town-Texas feel yet is starting to integrate the suburban lifestyle that exists in other Montgomery County towns such as The Woodlands, Magnolia, and Conroe. While Willis started out as a railroad town and still has a lot of rail traffic, it has diversified itself into a hub for agriculture, petroleum and recreation, as it is situated just east of Lake Conroe.

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