39 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Norton Township was founded in 1818 as an incorporation of several villages and communities. A few decades later, the grist and sawmills were built, which brought jobs, money, and building materials into town. You know how to mill grist, right? Unfortunately, the people of Norton wanted their own, separate local government, but it took more than a century to accomplish. Norton was officially made its own village in 1961, and now more than 12,000 people live here. See more

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