Rockwood, VA 255 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

So tiny it doesn't even show up on many maps (seriously, Google pretends this place doesn't exist), Rockwood, VA is the type of small town in America's rugged Virginia wilderness that makes people dream of giving up the rat race to live somewhere beautiful and simple. Fortunately, you don't have to give up anything to live here; you just have to enjoy some peace and quiet. Located just outside of Richmond, Rockwood is rife with parks, reservoirs and ponds and small town charms (think local antique stores), all within close proximity to a big city and all its delicious options. Unlike many bitty census designated places, Rockwood provides easy access to highways and freeways, shopping centers and even an airport -- so much for giving up everything. But going under the radar does have one drawback: Yelp doesn't have a section for you. If you can shake off the pain of that realization, you'll quickly find that Rockwood's assortment of conveniences make it the perfect spot to move if you adore a modern country way of life, and you do, you definitely do.

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