City Guide for Big Lake, MN

Big Lake, MN, was named for -- surprise -- a big lake. One which was a very important part of the economy of Minnesota's Twin Cities. Before there were refrigerators, or for that matter the blue plastic ice packs you may use to keep your picnic lunches cool -- there were ice boxes. And they needed ice. And that came from Big Lake.

Big Lake had a population of 10,060 as of the last census in 2010. Located 41 miles from Minneapolis and less than 30 miles from St. Cloud, this lovely small city is close to urban culture but offers many community activities and natural beauty within its boundaries in Sherburne County. It's convenient to both Route 10 and I-94, for easy transportation. See more

What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with hardwood floors in Big Lake, MN

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