With stunning lakes, parks and preserved open spaces on the doorstep, and activities from skating to tennis, golf and horse-riding in the area, Pine Lake Park is a great place in which to live, work and bring up a family. Meanwhile, its population, at around 8,500, is getting on for nine times that of Antarctica in the winter. And a relatively youthful population, with an average age of 38, means most residents are younger than Neil Armstrong was when he landed on the moon. Pine Lake Park also has a predominantly well-educated population and lower than average levels of unemployment. Only around a fifth of households in the area are not families, while per capita income was more than 25% higher than the average city per capita income. 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 Pine Lake Park renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
