Brooksville, FL 78 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Brooksville, once known as the "Home of the Tangerine," thanks to its history as a major center of citrus farming, is a city close to the west coast of Florida. It's quite a long way out of Tampa, so don't plan on doing any commuting unless you enjoy spending up to an hour driving each way. You will soon forget about the attractions of the big city when you see the beautiful natural scenery that surrounds Brooksville. Just a short drive from the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, Brooksville is a great place to base yourself if you enjoy being surrounded by gently rolling hills (who doesn't?). Even within the city limits, there are three parks offering sports facilities, walking trails and a nine-hole golf course, as well as plenty of places to kick back and relax with a big picnic hamper and a selection of your favorite people.

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