Dallas, OR 19 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Twenty minutes west of Salem and an hour southwest of Portland, the area that would become Dallas, Oregon was founded in 1840, nearly twenty years before Oregon achieved statehood. As one might expect for a western frontier city with a lot of trees at its disposal, Dallas claims a lot of railroad and logging history. These days, Dallas's emerging industry is less about paper and more about glass the kind into which you pour wine from the wineries springing up in the area. With parks, natural beauty, and an easy commute into job centers in Salem and even Portland Dallas is a great place to call home. View Dallas 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 Dallas renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
