Greendale, WI 103 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Although a previous settlement existed in the area, Greendale as it's known today was built by the Roosevelt Administration in 1936. It's one of just three "Greenbelt Communities" in the whole of the United States, the aim of which was providing more jobs and accommodation for citizens. This picturesque community was actually modeled after an English village and looks much like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting. However, it's more than just a pretty facade, as you'll find plenty to keep you entertained in Greendale. View Greendale 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 Greendale renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
