Frederick, CO

95 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Almost directly north of Denver, this city, whose population hovers around 9,000 residents, is well known for its contribution to the math and computer world. Admittedly, it seems a little weird considering Frederick, formerly known as McKissick, started its life as a coal mining town. While the mines have since been shut down, the residents of Frederick still pay tribute to their mining heritage with a yearly Miner's Day Celebration. Their historical significance with the mines, and their dedication to math and computers makes Frederick unique. But that's not the only thing that sets Frederick apart. Frederick is also home to one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the United States. See more

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