47 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

There must be something in the air at Lindenhurst when you have big personalities like game-show host Jack Barry, Linda Morand - hottest fashion doll in the swingin' '60s and '70s - and rock star Pat Benatar all coming from this coastal village in New York state. Maybe it's the briney breeze blowing in from the Great South Bay. The slower pace of life doesn't hurt either. This charming village of just under 30,000 people sits in Suffolk County on the southern shore of Long Island, in the town of Babylon. If you like spectacular sunsets, walks on the beach, and a cozy place to live, then Lindy (as locals like to call it) could just be your next home. Now, lets find you an apartment. See more

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