If not then balconies are just useless, period.
I had a south-facing in-set sheltered balcony at my condo for 10 years. It was the best room in the house. We used it constantly. We called it the magic balcony.

Placement and design is EVERYTHING however. Because it was sheltered there was little wind, and because it faced south it got decent sun. The best part was in the early spring or the late fall. The sun is at a low angle, so you could get one of those days where its like 40 degrees outside, the and balcony heated up to like 70+. We could sit out there is shorts and a t-shirt in march when everyone down below was scrambling around in coats. We had a gas heat lamp for a while, and again, because it was sheltered, that thing really worked. It really extended your outdoor season.

It was great. I'd never buy a condo without a balcony.
