Several square miles of awe-inspiring blue hills and spectacular green mountainsides can do wonders to stir the mind, body and soul. Take for instance the likes of influential novelist Upton Sinclair, New York Times bestselling author Andrea Kane, powerful media executive Geraldine Laybourne and Grammy award winner Todd Levy. All hail from Martinsville, which can lay its claim to fame as the mini Olympus of New Jersey where today's demigods of arts are born and raised.
Covering 12.4 square miles in Somerset County, Martinsville is a hilly part of the Bridgewater Township, a fast developing suburban area with telecommunications, financial and pharmaceutical businesses. It remains generally unspoilt by city living despite its proximity to New York via the Bridgewater Station of the NJ Transit and Interstate 78 (going to Upper East Side). Martinsville offers one of the best places to live if one opts for the practicality of switching to a suburban job or craving a green-living lifestyle with fresh scenery. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Martinsville 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.
