Early settlers paid homage to their agrarian lifestyle by naming the town Hayopolis. In 1843, the community's moniker was changed to honor a Dr. Delafield from Milwaukee.
Delafield, Wisconsin, is a prosperous community in the "Lake Country" of western Waukesha County. Much of Delafield hugs the southern and western shores of Lake Nagawicka. In fact, of the 11.06 square miles within the city limits, about 15 percent of that area is part of the lake. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, 7,085 individuals called Delafield home. Downtown Milwaukee is a straight shot to the east, 40 miles away. Head west on I-94, and you'll be in Madison in a little over an hour. Given its strategic location on an east-west interstate, commuting to the more urbanized areas near Milwaukee is easy. At the same time, those that want to mainly hang out around Delafield will find pretty much everything one could want. 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 Delafield renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
