Ever wondered where the first gas-powered American automobile was born? You guessed it -- right here in Peoria Heights.
Peoria Heights is like the filling of a sandwich cookie. It's a sweet suburb surrounded on almost all of its sides by the city of Peoria. Spanning over six square miles, Peoria Heights provides a home to over 6,100 residents. Hope you can swim, though, as more than four square miles of that is water. If water's not your thing, no worries -- there's still plenty to do in Peoria Heights, including hiking through the Forest Park Nature Preserve, checking out the sights on Grand View Drive, and tucking into tasty vittles at Jim's Bistro.

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 Peoria Heights renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
