From the mid-1920s to the late 1980s, Wood River had the distinction of being the location with the largest swimming pool in the world. It had to be replaced due to age -- otherwise it would probably still be here!
In 1803-1804, Wood River was chosen to be at the beginning of the Lewis and Clark Expedition thanks to a decision made by Meriwether Lewis (Good call, Mr. Lewis!). Located on the Mississippi River, this southwest Illinois town of about 10,657 people (2010 U.S. Census) has a low crime rate and seven parks. What's not to love? 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 Wood River renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
