Who's the youngest editor of the Troy Tribune? U.S. Senator Paul Simon, who spent some time in Troy after dropping out of college.
You'd think this city was named after the great city of Troy from Greek mythology, but it was actually named for Troy of Missouri. Origins aside, Troy, IL may pale in comparison to mythological Troy -- well, what city wouldn't? -- but its abundance of restaurants, shops, parks and community activities easily makes it one great place to live in Illinois.

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