City Guide for Sylacauga, AL

Sylacauga is the first place in the world where an object from outer space has been documented as hitting a person! Yep, back in 1954, a four-kilogram piece of meteorite came crashing through the roof of a house, hit a radio and bounced into a woman named Mrs. Ann Hodges, who was casually enjoying an afternoon nap! Jeez, how's that for a wake up call!

Sylacauga has also been nicknamed many things over the years, such as "Alabama's Best Kept Secret," "Buzzard's Roost" and "The Marble City" on account of the city's links with the marble industry. It's situated in Talladega County and is home to 12,749 people, according to the U.S. Census in 2010. The Talladega National Forest is also right on the eastern border of the city, with the smaller settlements of Stewartville, Fayetteville and Childersburg within a few miles to the south, west and north respectively. The closest major city is Birmingham, about 40 miles along Route 280 to the northwest. Atlanta is about 90 miles to the northeast as the crow flies. See more

What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with balconies in Sylacauga, AL

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 Sylacauga renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
