Bay Point, CA

60 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Bordering lovely Suisun Bay, the McAvoy yacht harbor adjoins the community of Bay Point, which is just west of the city of Pittsburg, near Concord, CA. The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) rail system has a terminal here, and the town is also serviced by the California Delta Highway and the 680 Freeway. Stake Point is the closest spot to the bay in this pretty little community - perhaps Bay Point should consider another name change! Nearby Ambrose Park offers plenty of charming green space, and local youth and adult recreation and sports activities keep people busy when they're not sailing or fishing in the bay. This is a community with a pleasantly nautical feel and about 21,000 residents. See more

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