If you like digging in the dirt, you'll love living in Welby -- this is the little town in Adams County, Colorado, that once fed much of Denver. Its residents are still proud of their agricultural prowess, and you'll fit right in if you want to exchange gardening tips with the locals.
You'll also fit right in if you're a techie, because this bedroom community boasts modern industry as well. The diversity is a source of pride for its residents, but there is still some sparring over how the land should be divided to accommodate different uses. It makes for frequent and lively local debates. With a population of 14,846, according to the 2010 Census, Welby is a bedroom community for Denver just a few miles to the south. Get out your map, and you'll find Welby between Thornton and Commerce City. Two highways -- I-25 and I-76 -- straddle its borders, making this town easy to get to and easy to commute from. If you blink, though, you could miss it, because its area is only 3.8 square miles -- making any concept of neighborhoods essentially nonexistent. But Welby packs a lot into that small space -- a good mix of single- and multifamily residences, commercial businesses, agriculture, and industry. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Welby 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.
