Before you move to Old Town, Maine, you should be aware that you're not allowed to shoot your bow and arrow on someone else's land without written permission. Apparently, this is a big deal in Old Town. There's one exception, however -- if the landowner goes with you. What a great way to get out of mowing the lawn! Get someone to ask to shoot arrows on your land so you can drop everything and go along to supervise.
Old Town, Maine, is not exactly a tropical island, but even Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn would be proud to escape to this locale. Have you had enough of the big city? Here's a unique getaway place for you. It may not be a tropical paradise, but who wants all that oppressive heat anyway? No kidding, this is a real life, one-of-a-kind island community, sitting on the edge of the Great North Woods. Old Town, in Penobscot County, is actually several islands in the Penobscot River with a total area of about 43 square miles. Thirty-nine square miles are land, and four square miles are water and bridges connect the separated parts of town. View Old Town 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 Old Town renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
