34 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Rockville is located in Tolland County, Connecticut. It is a quaint community of a little more than 7,400 residents, and is part of the larger town of Vernon. It got its name in 1837 as the mail service needed a place to deliver parcels. Since it was known for its rock mill, the name Rockville was chosen because of the common term visitors used called "Going to the Rock." And therefore Rockville was born! Much of Rockville is part of the Rockville Historic District, reflecting the town's historic roots of mills, farms and villages. Located in the Northeastern part of Connecticut, Tolland county sits on the outskirts of Hartford, the State Capitol, and is not far from another major city, Springfield, Massachusetts. Rockville combines the charm of a small town while being just a short drive from two major New England cities, so there is truly something for everyone! See more

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