Janesville, WI may seem like a dot on the map to outsiders, but Wisconsinites know this unique Midwestern town as the state’s “City of Parks.” If you take a cruise through the streets, you’ll quickly understand why. The city of 62,000 boasts a 2,015-acre park system that weaves and turns throughout town, offering residents access to more than 50 grassy picnic areas, wooden park benches and pristine nature trails. This is quite a remarkable number of green spaces for a town this size (New York's Central Park is a puny 843 acres – by way of comparison). The park system features lakes, rivers, swimming pools, disc golf play areas, sports stadiums, boat launches, and golf courses. Popular sites include the Rotary Gardens (a botanical garden made from an old sand pit), Monterey Park, the Ice Age Trail and Camden Park. Nearly every park is connected by a comprehensive bike trail that stretches to the neighboring town of Beloit. Not sold yet? In addition to these outdoor spaces, Janesville offers a fun urban beat with restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores and musical venues galore. View Janesville City Guide
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 Janesville renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
