Florida Ridge, FL

27 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Here are a few quick facts to get you in the know for Florida Ridge: Florida Ridge is a small township with a population density of 18,164. Like Vera Beach, it is a part of Indian River County. Florida Ridge runs dubiously close along the neighboring towns of Vera Beach CITY--and they may even share some municipal services, like water and electricity--but Florida Ridge is a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or unincorporated Census Designated Place (CDP), and thus not a city. Except for a few legal technicalities, Florida Ridge has all the looks and economic advantages to keep up the façade as a Vera-Beach-City-wannabe, but it doesn't need to. Renting an apartment or condos for rent in Florida Ridge will not be too much of a challenge! See more

Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Florida Ridge renters. They`re typically a beautiful addition to your space. They’re also easier to clean and sweep, particularly if you have pets.

However, there are some downsides. Hardwood floors carry sounds. They can also make your apartment noisy for your roommates and downstairs neighbors.

Ask the landlord or property manager about the hardwood floors before signing a lease. Are they actually hardwood or a popular composite alternative? The latter is probably easier to clean and care for than the real thing.

It’s also important to ask about who’s responsible for any damage to the floors and what that entails. Your security deposit could take a hit from scratches, dents, and other damage.

Consider the type of climate you live in. Hardwood floors typically don’t fare well in damp climates full of moisture. Stains and buckling are common in hardwood floors after rain flooding or excessive moisture.

However, hardwood floors can be ideal for dry climates or sunny areas for renters who love the way they look.
