They could include a balcony and still have it instanced. You'd just be seeing your own view of outside and there'd be no view back and forth between your balcony and the main housing ward area. It'd be like the way you can see what looks like a portion of the neighboring region when you're near a region boundary. It's really just backdrop scenery.
