Smithville, Missouri, was once called "Smith's Mill," after its founder and his flour mill. Due to difficulties in pronunciation, the name of the town was changed to "Smithville."
Just 20 minutes north of Kansas City, Missouri, lies the tranquil burg of Smithville and its population of 8,425 (2010 U.S. Census data). A popular destination for weekenders craving outdoor excitement, Smithville boasts a 7,200-acre lake with 175 miles of shoreline for boating, swimming and other recreational activities such as camping or hunting. When they're not on the lake, residents can enjoy a stroll down memory lane in the historic downtown shopping district, where legendary outlaw and Missouri's favorite son Jesse James once trod. Low crime rates and ample amenities make Smithville one of the most attractive places in the Kansas City area for prospective residents. Bring your boat, and prepare to explore this exemplary community. 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 Smithville renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
