When Hastings, Minnesota, was first discovered, there were a lot of high hopes that one day it would be a bustling metropolis -- early city planners even called it the "new Chicago" in the mid-1800s. Well, a financial crash called the Panic of 1857 brought those big-city dreams to a halt, but a lot of settlers stuck around and realized it was a great place to live in its own right.
The view of the Mississippi River is one of the spotlights of this town that 22,000 people call home. Hastings is renowned for its Victorian architecture and has a total 63 structures on the National Register of Historic Places. Built near the confluence of both the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers, the southern edge of town contains the Vermillion River and the beautiful Vermillion Falls. The town is located amid a great deal of natural beauty: bluffs along the Mississippi, a gorge below the falls, and even two bucolic lakes, Lake Rebecca and Lake Isabel. 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 Hastings renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
