Like so many upscale Big Apple suburbs, this neat little burg's best kept secret is that its most heavily depended upon asset is actually located where it's not supposed to be.
When it comes to trivia facts about the village of Lawrence, Nassau County, NY (not to be confused with the upstate NY town of Lawrence), few can top this gem. The original developers of Lawrence's transportation treasure, the Long Island Rail Road station in the heart of town, bit off more than they could chew when they jumped the gun and mistakenly notified the public of its incorrect address. The depot's officially listed location is at the corner of Lawrence and Bayview Avenues, two blocks west of Central Avenue when it's actually two blocks to the north of Central, and Bayview is on the other side of the railroad tracks' right-of-way. Since all of the station's published location reference resources were so heavily committed, nobody ever bothered to get the facts straightened out, presumably for cost considerations. If you move to Lawrence, make sure, as an unfamiliar stranger, you don't get caught up in the confusion and wait for your train ride at a phantom location. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Lawrence 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.
