In the late 1700s, Siberian fur trader Osip Volkov jumped ship in Monterey Bay, assimilated to Spanish culture, became a Mexican citizen, and was ultimately the first non-native settler in what is now Scotts Valley.
Nestled in the San Lorenzo Valley in Santa Cruz County, Scotts Valley is home to about 11,500 residents who appreciate the forest-like environs, easy access to Santa Cruz and San Jose, and a quality of life that makes it an easy city to love. Scotts Valley has been home to humans for over ten thousand years, with several iterations of native peoples living along the areas waterways and hunting and gathering. The city was eventually founded and took its name from Hiram Scott who bought the sprawling Rancho San Agustin. Scott purchased the land grant from a guy who bought it for $400 from our ship-jumping friend Volkov -- who was by then known as Jose Bolcoff. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Scotts Valley 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.
