What's in a name? Magalia was founded after the California Gold Rush of 1849, as a mining camp bearing the moniker of Mountain View. Shortly thereafter, a dog breeding business led to a name change to Dogtown. But don't go barking up the wrong tree, the town's current name, Magalia, is based on the Latin word meaning "cottages."
The quiet town of Magalia is located near Lassen Volcanic National Park. Like lava tubes? Into hiking, outdoor trails, tall pines? Then Magalia is your kind of place. If you prefer skyscrapers to tall trees, move on, otherwise this bucolic community could be the perfect spot for you. View Magalia 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 Magalia renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
