Farragut, TN

56 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Despite only becoming an official town in 1980, that doesn't mean that Farragut has no history of its own! From playing host to the Battle of Campbell's Station during the Civil War to its days known as a fort called Campbell's Station, this little place has been around for quite a while. For a suburb (ahem ...) this area is a little larger than most, with 16 square miles to accommodate all the people who are moving here. But beware: Lots of people have learned about this clean, beautiful little town and they're moving here in droves. See more

Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Farragut 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.
