129 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Although that seems like a bit of a blanket statement, it really is true. While Atlanta is a nice place to live, and the cost of living is relatively low, you have to look over your shoulder at certain points in the day -- so there's the fear factor. However, Tyrone doesn't have that issue. In fact, this town has virtually no crime at all, which attracts many people to live here. It also attracts developers who are satisfied with the low-crime rate and high land value. The lure of the land has prompted multiple developments to be constructed in the area and also a few renovations of older buildings. What this means for future residents is the prospect of getting top dollar for their lower than market value homes. See more

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