Huntley: Country Charm in a Planned Environment
Huntley is one of Chicago's historical suburbs. Located about 50 miles northwest of the city, Huntley is close enough to benefit from being a suburb of Chicago without dealing with much of the traffic and congestion that some of the closer suburbs have to encounter. The city of Huntley has historically pursued a policy of aggressive planning and expanding the city's residential and commercial zones. The result is a city that is easy to navigate, and one that has balanced historical neighborhoods with new developments. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Huntley 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.
