It's the water - Because of its location on the St. Johns River, Palatka has always been influenced by the water. It's name is an abridged version of a Native word roughly meaning "cow crossing." A fort was here during the Seminole Wars and the Civil War, and the river still influences life.
Florida today represents a bit of dichotomy -- modern cities that don't really comport to the traditions of the Deep South, surrounded by smaller cities and towns that very much do. It's the latter category that Palatka falls into -- a town with a long history and a feel of Old South. View Palatka 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 Palatka renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
