Oddly enough, Los Altos Hills has no commercial or industrial zones. For police and fire services, the town's government holds a contract with Santa Clara County. The only retail outlet is a single bookstore at Foothill College. Hence, if you're a book fiend and do not possess internet access, you've pretty much had it! There's no post office, no telephone exchange, and, wait for it, no library either. Welcome to Los Altos Hills!
The incorporated town of Los Altos Hills is in Santa Clara County, California. The population is around 8,000, and the town has a total area of approximately nine square miles. If you're not overly keen on experiencing an earthquake (and who in their right mind is?), do bear in mind that the Monte Vista and Altamont geological faults pass through the town. Fortunately however, the Altamont is no longer active, and the Monte Vista has seen little to no activity for an estimated 700,000 years. Thus, you can breathe easy! See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Los Altos Hills 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.
