Pacific, WA 161 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

As the locals in Pacific will tell you, Pacific is not a part of Auburn. Don't get that wrong! Home to 6,606 people, this small city is a mere 15 miles from Tacoma and 28 miles from Seattle. It may not have the shiny lights or grunge music that Seattle offers, but it does still jam. And you can still blast Nirvana on the radio. Anyway, this friendly community has what you need: proximity to parks and waterways, nearby dining and nightlife, and a laid-back living environment. You won't feel stressed in Pacific. The city is, after all, a true Pacific Northwest town. You even get classic views of Mount Rainier. View Pacific 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 Pacific renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
