Olivehurst used to be known as Denniston, back when the Okies were escaping the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. People are still streaming into this fertile land, as Olivehurst saw a population increase of almost 3,000 people in the last few years.
When most people think of Northern California, they think of San Francisco or Sacramento, but there's a more northern north than that, as Olivehurst residents know. This charming woodsy town has plenty for nature lovers, including hiking trails, farmers markets and ski resorts, all located nearby, but most people will adore this charming CDP for its proximity to Lake Tahoe, and its swimming, skiing, dining and mountain fun. Not that you have to leave Olivehurst to have a good time, but it's a small place with small pleasures. In fact, most people commute to work. It's just nice to know large-scale recreation is fairly close at hand. It's also nice to know, for California real estate, Olivehurst is very welcoming. Pack your bags. You're headed north. 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 Olivehurst renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
