"I had a dream of locating a large public stock yard at Cudahy and bringing all the Milwaukee packing industry down here [and] all's well that ends well, for we now have a flourishing business and a good-sized, growing city." - Patrick Cudahy, American industrialist, 1849-1919.
Situated about a 15-minute drive from downtown Milwaukee, Cudahy rests on the edge of Lake Michigan and was originally known as the Buckhorn Settlement. The city changed its name just before the turn of the 20th century when Patrick Cudahy moved his meatpacking industry there -- just outside of Milwaukee's city limits. Cudahy's family business is still operating in the area, and you may now have guessed how the city derived its new name. Because of the excellent location, Cudahy's rental prices are just a little over the average for Wisconsin, but you should also bear in mind that they are lower than the national average. July and August are the warmest months here, when the average daily temperature regularly reaches the mid-seventies. 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 Cudahy renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
