Most people love the sunshine and tropical feeling they discover in Miami-Dade County's Westwood Lakes. That was also true 12,000 years ago before the Europeans discovered it. The native Americans - called Tequesta- were there first, as usual, and may have been responsible for creating the archaeological entity known as Miami Circle, possibly 2,000-years-old. This ancient site is believed to be the only prehistoric example of a permanent structure cut into bedrock in North America.
Westwood Lakes has changed a little since then and the area surrounding it would probably be unrecognizable to those early inhabitants. Bustling, busy and vibrantly alive with high rise apartments and buildings, great shopping and eateries of many different cultures are the hallmark of Westwood Lakes today. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Westwood Lakes 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.
