Glenpool, OK

72 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Glenpool is a great small suburb about 15 miles from Tulsa, OK that has forged its own identity in a state known for its neutrality. It is sometimes difficult in the great plains area to differentiate one town from another, but this one is a cut above the rest. Glenpool has grown up over the years to become a successful township after its beginnings in the oil industry when the American Indian, Ida E. Glenn, created the first oil gusher. This is where Glenpool first received its name of Glenn, later being changed to Glenpool to illustrate pools of oil. Glenpool is proud of its community and business growth and has built a new conference building to house chamber of commerce meetings and hold conferences. See more

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