During WWII, the city of Butner, North Carolina, was known as The Camp Butner Reservation. The mission of the camp was to train combat troops. At the time, the reservation contained barracks, support services, rifle ranges, artillery ranges and a prisoner of war compound.
Officially incorporated as a town in November of 2007, Butner was managed by the state starting in 1947 after the military ceased using it as a training camp. Today, Butner is a rural suburban town located within commuting distance of Raleigh and Durham. An agricultural community turned military camp turned state hospital facility turned suburban hamlet, Butner offers a peaceful place to call home within easy access to all the benefits that a large urban center like Raleigh-Durham has to offer. Since the town is still new, it's in transition from its former self into a true suburban community. New amenities like restaurants, shops, playground equipment at local parks and a pedestrian plan for the town are still being implemented. If you don't mind getting in on a new town while it's still young and in development, Butner may be just the right place for you to find an apartment. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Butner 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.
