Valencia West, AZ

67 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Located at the southwestern edge of Tucson, Valencia West is a remote, secluded town with a lot of western charm. This is how residents get to enjoy the desert without all the crowds. Far from the skyscrapers of most of Arizona's larger cities, those seeking to get back to the old west feel of things will find themselves right at home in this area. This is definitely for those who want to get away from it all and enjoy the things that brought settlers to this region in the first place. The wild untamed desert, cool breezes on summer nights, coyotes in the distance and the land itself await those who are willing to appreciate it. Of course, this means the search for apartments will be different here than in other, larger cities. Here you're more likely to find studio apartments for rent rather than large complexes. See more

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