Old Orchard Beach, ME 29 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Old Orchard Beach has been a tourist destination right from its start, hundreds of years ago. But, when early residents fled the area after an attack, they left behind their apple orchard. The orchard survived for nearly 150 years and locals referred to the area as the "old orchard." Today, the seaside town is all grown up, with over 8,600 year-round residents, and is one of the hottest summertime destinations on the coast of Maine. View Old Orchard Beach 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 Old Orchard Beach renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
