What do the entire country of Canada and little Carthage, Missouri, have in common? They share an appreciation for the humble maple leaf. It's the national symbol of Canada, of course, and Carthage is nicknamed "America's Maple Leaf City." But the similarity pretty much ends there.
Carthage was the site of the first official battle of the American Civil War - the Battle of Carthage - on July 5, 1861. Re-enactments of the battle are staged by local groups to commemorate the event.
The city of Carthage is located in Jasper County, Missouri, United States. It makes up part of the Joplin, Missouri Metropolitan Statistical Area. It has the nickname of "America's Maple Leaf City" due to the beautiful leaf colors to be witnessed during the months of fall. The 2010 U.S. Census estimated the population of the city to be almost 14,400. At the current intersection of Central and Garrison Avenue, Route 66 intersected with U.S. Route 71 in the 1920s. The iconic Route 66 was re-routed and then replaced with Interstate 44 in the 1960s. July is the warmest month, when average highs reach 91 degrees. January is the coolest month in Carthage, when average low temperatures drop down to 23 degrees. View Carthage 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 Carthage renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
