Brent, FL

64 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

That history is evident in the town’s name, which over the decades has continuously changed from Bownsville-Brent-Goulding to West Pensacola.  Regardless, Brent is a part of the Pensacola community separated by census designations alone, so if you live here, you’re part of one of the oldest European settlements in the present day United States.  And those historic ties mean a lot to the proud residents in Brent and Pensacola.  So much so, that in 2009 the city hosted a year long 450th birthday celebration to alert tourists and publicity to this almost forgotten chapter in their past.

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