Under the busy streets of Taylor, Pennsylvania, is a subterranean playground just waiting to be explored, courtesy of the miles of abandoned mines in the area.
Taylor is just 5.2 square miles in size -- it's entirely possible that there is a larger area underneath the city than above the ground! Founded in 1790 by a man named Cornelius Atherton, the city has a population of around 6,200 people according to the 2010 census. It's one of a number of small towns running along a diagonal track beside the Lackawanna River that includes Old Forge, Dunmore, and Scranton. There are a number of homes available for those looking to move to the area. 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 Taylor renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
