Smithville, Missouri, was once called "Smith's Mill," after its founder and his flour mill. Due to difficulties in pronunciation, the name of the town was changed to "Smithville."
Just 20 minutes north of Kansas City, Missouri, lies the tranquil burg of Smithville and its population of 8,425 (2010 U.S. Census data). A popular destination for weekenders craving outdoor excitement, Smithville boasts a 7,200-acre lake with 175 miles of shoreline for boating, swimming and other recreational activities such as camping or hunting. When they're not on the lake, residents can enjoy a stroll down memory lane in the historic downtown shopping district, where legendary outlaw and Missouri's favorite son Jesse James once trod. Low crime rates and ample amenities make Smithville one of the most attractive places in the Kansas City area for prospective residents. Bring your boat, and prepare to explore this exemplary community. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Smithville 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.
