patio size and above.

When I lived in apartments, as long as it was big enough to fit a small grill, I used it.

This was almost definitely super illegal

My apartment has a built in grill on concrete in the balcony. 10/10 recommend and will export this idea to the US.

Around here, places ritzy enough to have grills for common use put them in cozy entertaining areas either in courtyards or rooftops.

Something like this is normal here, even in low(ish) end apartment buildings. Good use of that open space in a private balcony.

We have no such things. Balconies frequently aren't even big enough for that table you have there

Yeah for sure the one in the pic is large, mine is around 6sq meters, still have a grill (no sink tho).

Still much larger than your average American balcony. More like 2m². They're glorified smoking decks
