Obviously it's a question of personal choice but I would never trade my balcony for anything else. It is about 55 sq ft and set into the building so about 3/4 of it is covered by the building itself and completely private from the units on either side. I live on the 10th floor so the view is great. I grow a few things (peppers, herbs), have an electric bbq that works far better than I ever would have imagined, and since my unit faces north, I get very little wind or direct rain so can be out there most of the time.
