Are you in Citrus? You might be forgiven if you thought you were in Azusa, or Glendora, or Covina. This is the most densely populated part of the San Gabriel Valley, so sometimes it's hard to tell. Often, it's called unincorporated Covina. But hey, it is a place, with its own identity!
Located along I-210, also called the Foothill Freeway, it's home to over 10,800 people (per 2010 U.S. Census data) in neighborhoods on both sides of the freeway. It's all developed land and very much a part of the Los Angeles megalopolis. While there is little to distinguish Citrus from the areas around it, the community is a good place to live. Set virtually in the middle of the upper metro, it's about the same distance to Santa Monica and San Bernardino -- of course, travel time depends to a great deal on what time of day you are trying to get to either one of them! Notorious L.A. traffic aside, Citrus is convenient to Pasadena, Glendale, and Burbank as well. The Big Dalton Wash flows through town, but like most L.A. area waterways, it's a concrete-lined trickle most of the time and a torrent when it rains hard in the mountains. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Citrus 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.
