First it was called Alvarez Station. Then it was Cleveland Station. Then it settled on the name of Saraland. This small city finally found its calling in life as the friendly neighbor accepting the overspill of people from Mobile.
Sometimes it takes a community a while to get going, and that describes Saraland. Only 12 miles north of Mobile and located on both sides of I-65, Saraland is a tiny city with a personality complex. It is called the "Gateway to Progress" but claims that it represents progress on its own, thank you very much. There seems to be a bit of "small dog" complex going on. Its history says it was "sparsely population" at the start of the century, but the population "swelled" to 4,595 by 1960 and then "swelled" again to the current 13,405. Saraland continues to swell as Mobile expands! See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Saraland 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.
