East Cleveland, OH 165 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

East Cleveland is the first suburb of the city of Cleveland, and it borders Cleveland on the west, north and a small portion of the city's southwestern edge. East Cleveland was officially founded as a village in 1895 and then as a city in 1911 (yay progress!). The charter included provisions for women's suffrage, which around this time just didn't happen with the exception of the West. East Cleveland is also home to the world's first industrial park. Nela Park, constructed by General Electric, is still in use as the company headquarters of GE Lighting. View East Cleveland 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 East Cleveland renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
