Vineyard, CA

136 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Southeastern Sacramento has many wine shops and some wineries, but its favorite vineyard grows people, not grapes -- that would be the community of Vineyard, California. Vineyard is part of Sacramento itself -- the Sacramento-Arden-Arcade-Roseville Metro area, to be exact. With a population of nearly 25,000, this community is one of greater Sacramento's most growing areas, a suburban enclave not far from Interstate 5 and Highway 99, and the vineyards and other agriculture of the region. Like the grape plants that it is named after, this community keeps on growing. From Mexican restaurants and small shops to attractive homes, Vineyard has expanded. And population? It has more than doubled in the past 10 years. See more

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