Arlington, WA

33 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Located on the Stillaguamish River in Snohomish County, Arlington is a lovely town in Washington State. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and has excellent transportation links to other major cities. Live here and you're close enough to Seattle for the convenience but far enough out of town to feel as though you have space. In other words, you are far enough away from Seattle that people won't confuse you with a coffee-shop-hanger-on-wannabe-grunge-band member. You'll also have Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains close by for outdoor activities and relaxing. There's a lot of history and heritage here too, from the Native American culture to pioneers and the railroad. Arlington is a friendly town with a good community spirit, and there is always something happening, even though it is a quieter place to live. Before long, you'll be volunteering for something, just like your neighbors. That's the spirit of Arlington. 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 Arlington renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
