70 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Freehold is an old town. It was officially formed on October 31, 1693, more than 300 years ago! Sure, it's important historically, with tons of historic sites and the park commemorating the Revolutionary War Battle. But it's also a place that has many exciting things happening, a vibrant community, and lots and lots of entertainment and amenities. Freehold is located in central New Jersey, close to both the New Jersey shore, and of course, the Big Apple. Many people in Freehold are commuters who go into and out of New York City for work. However, residents of Freehold have plenty to do while they're in their hometown and in all of the destination towns around them. See more

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