39 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

While Nicholasville has way more going for it than just safe locks (though seriously, Google the Harry C. Miller Lock Collection—any museum sporting 24,000 square feet of locks is impressive in our books), that charming little quirk does give you a great feel for the city. Nicholasville dates back to 1798. They’ve done an excellent job at preserving their past through museums like the Old Jessamine County Jail (a restored 1870s jailer’s home), they now also act as a major commuter city for Lexington, which is located just 9 miles north. Nicholasville has a lifetime of attractions to explore, including vineyards (First Vineyard which, as its name might imply, was here long before its competitors), civil war heritage parks and sprawling equestrian centers.

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