It's hard to lose with a town that held a contest to get its name. The contest was held in 1915, although it's still unclear if the name refers to longtime resident Benjamin Tarrant or Felix I. Tarrant, President of National Cast Iron Pipe Company.
Tarrant is the kind of town Lynyrd Skynyrd spoke of in their iconic song "Sweet Home Alabama." Blue skies and quaint living are hallmarks of one of the South's most populated areas. Sweet tea flows in abundance and grits (a breakfast food similar to cream of wheat) is a staple on every table. That's not to say the area isn't modern. The region has enjoyed a boom in commerce that has sustained steady growth for decades. As a suburb of Birmingham, history was made as Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote one of his most important speeches nearby. Home to classic rock bands, a rich cultural history and unique cuisine, Tarrant provides a particular type of living experience. One the city itself describes as a close-knit feeling among the residents. View Tarrant City Guide
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 Tarrant renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
