Enumclaw, WA 43 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Enumclaw is the nearest town to Mount Rainier National Park and as such has holds claim to being the gateway to Mount Rainier. It's a fitting description, as just beyond Enumclaw the highway starts to climb into the Cascade Foothills on the approach to the famous volcano. The city of over 10,000 is surrounded by forest to the east and farmland to the north and west. It's still within the greater Seattle Tacoma metro area -- barely. Part outer suburb, part farm town, and part mountain gateway, it's a nice little burg with a lot to offer. You've probably heard of Mutual of Omaha, thanks in part to the television show "Wild Kingdom," but did you know there was a Mutual of Enumclaw that was actually founded 11 years earlier?

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