It's mostly residential but is home to some quaint shops and restaurants, mostly tucked away in the far northwest side of town. It only covers about 2.90 square miles of land, so even though the population is so slight, you'll still be in close proximity to your neighbors!

The Mary Nohl Art Environment is on the National Register of Historic Places, too. It contains many pieces of historic folk art. 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 Fox Point renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
