Galt, CA 48 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Not all of the forty-niners who flocked to the goldfields of California were miners. One small group were farmers determined to provide supplies to the passing miners. They settled along the banks of Dry Creek during the early days of the gold rush in an area which eventually became Galt. Although buildings were mostly wooden, Galt's architectural history has been spared the same fiery fate as many Gold Rush and frontier towns. As a result, many of Galt's historic places still exist, in beautiful well-preserved grandeur, making the town a lovely reminder of bygone days. View Galt 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 Galt renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
