Do you love fruit -- particularly berries? If you answered in the affirmative, you will love Lucas Valley-Marinwood, where all of the street names end in "berry" (case in point: Appleberry, Blackberry, Cedarberry, Danberry, and Elderberry streets).
Lucas Valley and Marinwood are both unincorporated areas of Marin County, California. The U.S. Census Bureau lumped them together for census purposes, making them one "census-designated place" of approximately 6,100 residents (in all, at last count). Combined, the area encompasses a 5.7-square-mile swath of fertile northern California earth. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Lucas Valley-Marinwood 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.
