Having come about largely due to the expansion of railroad use in America, the city of Harahan is aptly named after the Illinois Central Railroad Company's former president, James T. Harahan.
Located right on the Mississippi River and less than half an hour away from New Orleans, Harahan has plenty to offer prospective tenants. Amazingly enough, even being this close to Bourbon Street doesn't affect the city's crime rate. In fact, the violent crime rate in the city is nearly six times lower than its Mardi Gras wielding neighbor. Enjoy The Big Easy whenever you can, but don't let Harahan residents hear you say it's any better! See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Harahan 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.
