Newcastle, OK

80 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Newcastle is big. So big, in fact, that it was listed among the Top 10 fastest growing cities in Oklahoma. It's had a population increase of over 40% since 2000. This kind of expansion has had an ongoing role in Newcastle's history: in 1960, Newcastle only consisted of a few square miles of land, and Oklahoma annexed chunks of land, thus starting Newcastle's expansion. With a population of 7,685, Newcastle is the largest city in Oklahoma's McCain County. Many people are happy with Newcastle living, and you could be one of them should you decide to move here and make this place your new home. See more

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