Gladstone, Oregon is the location of the Pow-Wow Maple Tree, a gorgeous, twisted tree that is believed to have been the meeting site of several regional Indian tribes, including the Multnomahs and Clackamas, where they would make trade bargains, settle community disputes, and even hold weddings. It was also the site of the first Oregon State Fair in 1861. Today, except for a small plaque at its base, the Pow-Wow Maple Tree unceremoniously sits at the edge of someone's front yard on Clackamas Blv...
What's there to be so glad about anyway? Well, Gladstone is a small town located just south of Portland, one of the quirkier cities in the U.S. It's basically a Portland suburb, but don't try to tell that to locals. Many take pride in Gladstone's history, and for good reason--Gladstone's roots grow back to the mid 1800's, with the earliest land grants handed out by President Lincoln himself. The City of Gladstone, which grew up right about where the Clackamas River joins the Willamette River (pronounced Will-AM-it), has a population of about 11,500 people, but it's surrounded by the 2.2 million people who live in the Portland Metro area, of which it is a part (get over it, Gladstone).

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