"Heaven's Virginia when the year's at its Spring." So writes Madison Heights area poet Anne Spencer, in the poem "Life-Long, Poor Browning." In the very center of Virginia, the almost 20-square miles that make up the Madison Heights community feature rivers, mountains, and year-round mild weather that inspired Anne Spencer.
Natural borders and strategic location made the area critical to the US Civil War, and nearby Lynchburg was a hub for Confederate hospitals and supplies. The most amazing claim to fame? Though the Union Army came within a mile of Madison Heights and Lynchburg, this section of Virginia was never conquered. It stayed in Confederate hands until the war ended. When you move to Madison Heights, you won't have to worry about armies encroaching. More important, you can avoid the deep cold that plagues northern states, as winter days generally don't drop below 40 degrees. Sure, it's not shorts and t-shirt weather, but it's pretty great when you can go outside in January without getting frostbite on your nose. View Madison Heights 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 Madison Heights renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
