Gloucester Point, VA 129 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Just an hour outside of Richmond, Virginia's capital, is Gloucester Point, a small, ocean town that's also a suburb. It's strange to consider a Richmond suburb and small Virginia city a beach destination, but that's just what Gloucester Point is, and it affords lovely seaside living with easy access to some of the best that the capital city has to offer. There was a Civil War battle at Gloucester Point in 1861, so information about this event is plentiful. Despite its war-torn past, this Virginia town is pretty peaceful today, and there's also plenty exciting and happening stuff going on. You won't have to escape to nearby Newport News or Richmond to feel like you can get a dose of culture, dining, or entertainment. Besides, they already get the lion's share of attention. It's time for Gloucester Point to take a bow! View Gloucester Point 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 Gloucester Point renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
