Justice, IL

776 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

You would think the name of this village had clear origins, but no one really knows how Justice got its name. Home to 12,926 people, Justice is only 14 miles from the Chicago Loop. While the presence of the Windy City plays a role in the daily life of Justice residents, the village's attraction comes in its seamless mixture of contradictory attributes: the traditional with the modern, the grand metropolis alongside a village, and nature beside concrete. All those marvelous combinations of contradictions mean you can forgive the village for not understanding where its name came from. See more

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