Black Jack, MO 124 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Today, Black Jack is currently a lovely little sleepy suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. However, it hasn't always been a settled, suburban town. In fact, the town has some history! Black Jack was a stopover for farmers on the route to 1840s St. Louis, then located 12 miles to the south. In 1865, a postal station was established on Halls Ferry Road. A blacksmith and a wagon wright soon moved in, and the village began to draw more settlers. Meanwhile, the thriving metropolis of St. Louis blossomed to the south. In August of 1970, area residents voted to incorporate the city of Black Jack. Today, almost 2,600 people call this little 2.6-square-mile plot of land their home. Even though today there are a lot of people and a lot of businesses here, residents also appreciate nature at the sprawling, 75-acre Harold J. Evangelista Park. View Black Jack 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 Black Jack renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
