136 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Here's a little history you might be interested in: In 1916, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company bought up acres of farmland all around this area to grow long-staple cotton which was then used in tire cords. The project was developed by Paul Litchfield, a Goodyear executive, for whom the company town was named in 1926. Litchfield Park then became the headquarters for Goodyear Farms, which cultivated the cotton. In the 1960s, Litchfield Park designed a master plan for development that you can see in existence today. Located just 16 miles west of Central Phoenix, the town of Litchfield Park is today a carefully planned residential community in Maricopa County, where the living is good and the small-town atmosphere has been carefully guarded. Here, you'll find the world famous Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa, home to one of Arizona's first golf courses. See more

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