"The stars at night are big and bright / Deep in the heart of Texas / The prairie sky is wide and high / Deep in the heart of Texas." -- "Deep in the Heart of Texas" by Gene Autry
The beauty of Canyon, Texas was best captured by renowned artist Georgia O'Keeffe during her time as the head of the art department for West Texas State Normal College, soon to be West Texas A&M University. Canyon is in Randall County, just south of Amarillo -- which is known as the flattest place on earth. Amarillo means yellow in Spanish, and the area does, in fact, have a yellowish look. The Canyon area is famous for inspiring the beautiful works of artist Harold Dow Bugbee, as well as countless other artists and photographers. See more
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 Canyon renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
