South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a city in its own right, separate from actual Milwaukee. The founders created it in the late 1800s and apparently just couldn't get too creative about the name, because it is just where you would expect it to be -- south of Milwaukee.
As of the last large census back in the year 2010, South Milwaukee had a population of just about 21,000 people. This exciting suburban city has a total land area of just under 5 miles with a very small body of water within its borders. Many important and mildly famous individuals have called -- and still call -- South Milwaukee their home. William P. Atkinson, a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, lives here. Jackie Kashian, famous stand-up comedian, was born here, and pro wrestler Reginald "The Crusher" Lisowski has also spent quite a lot of time living in South Milwaukee. But you don't have to be a famous comedian or pro wrestler to find a good reason to live here. If you're looking for a convenient, fast-paced, and exciting place to live, look no further than South Milwaukee. There are many parks for outdoor enjoyment, museums, galleries, fine dining establishments, attractive homes of all sizes, as well as apartments. This community also offers quick access to the Great Lakes and greater Milwaukee 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 South Milwaukee renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
