Rome, NY: “Home of the New York State Cheese Museum.”
Ahhh, New York, home of towering skyscrapers, sophisticated urbanites, concrete jungles, and…sky-high real estate prices! Lucky for you, apartments in Rome, despite being in New York, are not as costly as other cities in that part of the country. Located in Oneida County, in the state of New York, Rome is home to more than 33,980 people, and the 31st largest community in the state. The median temperature in Rome during the summer months is 68°F, with a bone-chilling low of 22°F during winter. The really cool thing about the rental properties in Rome is the fact that they are well below the New York median, and surprisingly, below the national average, as well. The cost of living index for Rome is also quite low – 26 percent less than the New York average, and 8 percent less than the national average. For a state with cities that average up to three times the national average, this is no mean feat. But this makes it easier on your checking account as you plan your move to Rome. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Rome 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.
