"Flowers in the ground they wilt way / Sun in the sky it fades away / Make the funniest shapes from the cloud so grey / The breeze in the trees they blow my way." -- From "Monte" by Zee Avi
Mira Monte is a census designated place in Ventura County, California. The name more or less translates into English as "Looking Mount," which is a little strange since it's located at the center of Ojai Valley, just south of the mountains. Home to just under 7,000 people (at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census), the community shares its name with Miramonte, another Californian town in Fresno County. The latter name makes a lot more sense considering it sits 3,000 feet above sea level. It makes you wonder about the kind of people who first settled here, doesn't it? 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 Mira Monte renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
