186 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

North Arlington, N.J., is a town that's just a little more dead than most. It is home to the Holy Cross Cemetery, a 150-acre burial site that sits on the western edge of the city. Thanks to the popularity of Holy Cross, the number of dead residing in North Arlington is 20 times more than the living. That may sound a little creepy, but the residents of this small borough in Bergen County barely notice their interned neighbors. If looking for a place that is near New York City but with a little something extra to offer, then an apartment rental in North Arlington might be the one. See more

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