The area, purchased in 1838, was the property of one Dr. William Carr Lane, a practicing physician who came from Pennsylvania. When the city of St. Louis became incorporated in 1822, Lane was elected mayor in the following year. He maintained a farmstead known as Bienvenue on his plot of land north of the city, passing it to a daughter, Sarah, and her husband William Glasgow upon his death. The property encompassed the area from the river to the Portland Cement Company and to the north, the Chain of Rocks Park. The Glasgow family gifted the land to the city for development. Visitors to the area note that the streets have names of places or clans of Scotland, the naming of which were in accordance to the Glasgow family will and testament. The town experienced a population boom in the 1950s, following World War II. Today, the town retains much of its historic flair and its convenient location ensures that you're never too far from anything. View Glasgow Village 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 Glasgow Village renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
