Did you know that aluminum alloys are as strong as, if not more than, steel? Speaking of aluminum, did you know that New Kensington is considered the "Birthplace of the Aluminum Industry?"
Do you like the proximity of living near a large city, but prefer to sleep in a quieter town? New Kensington is a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA, a city ranked number one by Sperling's BestPlaces in "The Best Cities to Relocate to in America" category. Tucked along the Allegheny River, New Kensington is where history meets small-town charm with modern-day benefits. It's kind of like friends with benefits, but without all the commitment issues. It was officially incorporated as a town in 1892 and its claim to fame is metal (no, not the musical variety): New Kensington was home to the Aluminum Company of America's first large-scale manufacturing hub.

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 New Kensington renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
