The beauty of this South Brunswick Township location is its proximity to all the cool stuff the East Coast has to offer, from bar hopping in Philly to Broadway watching in NYC.

It even has some neat features within the border. If you're hungry for a new destination that has a little of everything, from friendly neighbors to access to nightlife, you've found your dream spot.

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