Evans, GA

79 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

While Evans may seem like just a zip code and a place to sleep for nearly 40,000 residents, there's a lot more to it. Sure, it's termed a suburb of Augusta, but it really lies in a different county, not far from the border between Georgia and neighboring South Carolina. Its homes, condos and apartments are nestled into the rolling hills, and there are streams and some small lakes, partially hidden and protected by tall pines and native grasses. The Savannah River flows nearby.  Were it not for the U.S. Census, it might  not even exist, but Evans is an oddly-shaped  "census-designated area" in Columbia County. See more

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