Lynden, WA 64 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Sitting on the 'Murican side of the border between British Columbia and the U.S., the wee community of Lynden, with its population of about 12,000 folks, has a surprising plethora of amenities available for residents and visitors on both sides of the border. Of course, if that information isn't motivation enough to pack your things immediately, consider the fact that Lynden is only 95 miles from Seattle? Weekend road trip, anyone? But you don't have to leave the village limits to explore the awe-inspiring Nooksack Indian Village, amazing dairies (and the resulting super creamy ice cream -- yum!) and exceptional local restaurants (steakhouses, Mexican platters and wineries). If you need to work off the extra pounds resulting from such indulgence, simply take a hike -- literally. Washington is known for its stunning vistas. Grab a kayak, hiking boots, or bird watching book, and head in any direction for fun! View Lynden 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 Lynden renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
