It was either Pittsburgh or Paris, but somewhere between the two concepts, Beaver Falls fell into place. The city was chosen for the portrayal of the '80s sitcom, Mr. Belvedere. At the time, producers figured it fitted their model of a suburban community "moving into the up and coming, yet with the traditional spirit of the country [USA]." It pretty much sums up the current Beaver Falls.
The name Beaver Falls sounds more like a get-away resort town than a city. So it comes as no surprise that in the late 1800s, Beaver Falls's true claim to fame was the awesome falls that quickly became a scenic stopover for travelers in western Pennsylvania. Today, the city has grown into a suburban residential neighborhood with 8,967 residents in its plateau. Beaver Falls encompasses a total land mass of 2.1 square miles; if you consider big cities cold and unfriendly, this neighborhood will test how much closeness you can stand. As you can imagine, with its size, everyone in the community looks familiar and receives a warm greeting, giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "small talk." See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Beaver Falls 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.
