Halawa, HI

26 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Located on the island of Oahu is the small town of Halawa, just a few miles away from the legendary Waikiki Beach and tropical tourism paradise of Honolulu. Compared to most places on the island of Oahu, Halawa is relatively spread out and rural-feeling; the land has two streams running through it, and there are many dense forests and hills. Halawa was a land that was very important to native Hawaiians, and today, natives are trying to protect the beauty of the land there. However, there are also lovely neighborhoods in this area, where residents can both enjoy and soak up the natural splendor of the island, and enjoy the many amenities that the neighborhoods and the surrounding towns have to offer.

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