Nestled on the same block as the Northport 5 & 10, which dates back to 1850, and across the street from Anders Hardware, which opened in 1909, City Cafe would fit right in on the set of The Andy Griffith Show.
Northport, Alabama, is like a little brother to the city of Tuscaloosa, though the people running the place might object to that description. The two cities are side by side, and share the same highways, the same Chamber of Commerce, and even the same people going back and forth to work, attending the University of Alabama, and enjoying local eateries and shops. With 23,330 residents at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census, Northport is only one-fourth the size of its big brother. The origins of the split may be the result of people on one side of town not liking the other side telling them what to do -- so they packed their bags and formed a new city. Can't prove it, of course. It's just a suspicion. That happened way back in 1871, so it's likely the city is over any petulance it might have felt in bygone days. Northport is on the north side of the working Black Warrior River and is quite content to let the craziness of the university stay on the south side in Tuscaloosa. 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 Northport renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
