City Guide for Sylacauga, AL

Sylacauga is the first place in the world where an object from outer space has been documented as hitting a person! Yep, back in 1954, a four-kilogram piece of meteorite came crashing through the roof of a house, hit a radio and bounced into a woman named Mrs. Ann Hodges, who was casually enjoying an afternoon nap! Jeez, how's that for a wake up call!

Sylacauga has also been nicknamed many things over the years, such as "Alabama's Best Kept Secret," "Buzzard's Roost" and "The Marble City" on account of the city's links with the marble industry. It's situated in Talladega County and is home to 12,749 people, according to the U.S. Census in 2010. The Talladega National Forest is also right on the eastern border of the city, with the smaller settlements of Stewartville, Fayetteville and Childersburg within a few miles to the south, west and north respectively. The closest major city is Birmingham, about 40 miles along Route 280 to the northwest. Atlanta is about 90 miles to the northeast as the crow flies. See more

What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with hardwood floors in Sylacauga, AL

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