Lynwood, IL

150 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Lynwood is your typical small suburban town that has the best of both worlds: the proximity to Chicago means that you are close to everything that the city offers but you can still retreat to your own little haven of just over 9,000 people. You will find quite a few people here that have moved out of the city so if you are worried about being a displaced urbanite, relax. You have just found a great place to call home. See more

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