"If Washington was the Noah of the Revolution, then Kitchel was the Ark." A quotation attributed to industrialist Abraham Kitchel, White Meadow Lake's first resident.
Since Kitchel's day, when White Meadow Lake, N.J., was the center of iron mining, the area has become almost entirely residential. There are plenty of larger rental houses as well as a few apartments for rent in the unincorporated community which lies centrally in Morris County, New Jersey. In 2010, the population stood at 8,836 in an area of about four square miles. The lake, from which the community is named, covers an area of about half a square mile and it is maintained by the White Meadow Lake Property Owners Association. This group looks after access to the lake and its beaches, as well as provides boat docks, a clubhouse and other facilities. In the winter, it is possible for residents to skate on the lake. Not everywhere you might search for a home for rent can offer that, right? White Meadow Lake is part of the Rockaway Township and Interstate 80 splits the two communities from one another, forming a manmade southern boundary. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for White Meadow Lake 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.
