80 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Today, Burlington prides itself on keeping alive some of the values of the Quakers. While equal rights for everyone, including women and different racial groups, was a somewhat unique concept back in 1677, Burlington, both then and today, lives up to those values. The city aims to remain a diverse, accepting and caring community for all who visit or choose to live here. Burlington takes enormous pride in its history, and a walking tour of the sights is a must-do activity when you are in town. See more

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