105 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Bernardsville, correct pronunciation BERNardsville (instead of BernARDSville), is a small town located in central eastern New Jersey in an idyllic natural setting, with many mountainous areas and parks, as well as a charming town center. Its location offers a typical humid continental climate, known more colloquially as hot, humid summers, and cold, snowy winters. You learn to dress for the seasons here very quickly, and to appreciate the more mild, and quite lovely, seasons of Fall and Spring. The bursts of color of the fall foliage are quite remarkable, and Bernardsville has plenty of trees to show off during this time. In addition, Bernardsville has adopted many green initiatives, aimed at resource conservation and clean-up of natural spaces. See more

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