Kensington, Connecticut is the birthplace of "The Yankee Peddler." The Yankee is actually a duo of brothers, William and Edward Pattison, who came to town from Ireland in the 1700s and would peddle their wares made of tin from door-to-door and in a shop on West Street in Kensington. Now, there's a pawn shop in town that goes by the Yankee Peddler moniker.
Kensington is just over five square miles situated in the north-central part of the town of Berlin. Smack-dab in the central part of the state, Kensington is considered part of the Hartford metro area. The region was once called Pagonchawnischage (place of the great white oaks) by the Mattabasset Indians. Today, about 9,000 residents and a bunch of modern-day shops have replaced many of the white oaks. Not to worry, though, if you feel a need to get back to the town's natural roots (pun intended), just spend the day at Hungerford Park where you can enjoy numerous nature trails and ogle a collection of exotic animals. Watch out, camels spit. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Kensington 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.
