What's a person got to do to get a drink around here? That might have been the question of the day in Monmouth until 2002, when the town voted to lift its ban on alcohol. It had been the last on the West Coast to still be under prohibition rules that were enacted with the town's founding in 1859.
Home to Western Oregon University and surrounded by a thriving agricultural zone, the town is a nice rural community that is still close enough to larger towns to be a convenient home for anyone wanting to commute or enjoy what the bigger towns offer. Like most of the rest of Oregon, more people are moving here than are moving out. With some pent-up demand after the long housing slowdown coming into the mix as well, the amount of vacant units available is traditionally lower than the national average. That means it might take some more time to find the place you really want. Good research is the key. Start looking for that perfect pad as soon as you know you are going to be moving and make a plan. Be prepared to pay first and last months' rent, and a security deposit, and get ready for a credit check at most properties. Homes rent in Monmouth more rapidly during the summer when the school year is approaching because the university is such a big part of the local economy. 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 Monmouth renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
