Ashland, VA 295 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

--Henry Clay, politician born in Ashland, Virginia

Ashland, Virginia, is located in the heart of the state. That's right, it's smack-dab in the middle of everything, and that is one of the reasons why Ashland is known to locals as the "Center of the Universe." Ashland has over 7,000 residents, covers a scope of around 7 square miles, and is located in Hanover County. This tight-knit and friendly little town owes its early development to the railroad, as it was first created to be a mineral springs resort. Now, Ashland functions as a small college town full of people who love to be outdoors -- walking, biking, and hiking. Another bonus: Ashland is only 15 minutes north of Richmond. It's all about location! View Ashland 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 Ashland renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
