From the mid-1920s to the late 1980s, Wood River had the distinction of being the location with the largest swimming pool in the world. It had to be replaced due to age -- otherwise it would probably still be here!
In 1803-1804, Wood River was chosen to be at the beginning of the Lewis and Clark Expedition thanks to a decision made by Meriwether Lewis (Good call, Mr. Lewis!). Located on the Mississippi River, this southwest Illinois town of about 10,657 people (2010 U.S. Census) has a low crime rate and seven parks. What's not to love? See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Wood River 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.
