Thomas Coebourne came to the land that would become Brookhaven in 1682, just one year after King Charles II of England granted the future state of Pennsylvania to William Penn.
Today, Coebourne's name is all over town, from the elementary school to Coebourne Boulevard. Suffice it to say that Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, has a lot of history, and that charm comes through in the colonial architecture and community spirit. Brookhaven is one of the oldest continually occupied settlements in North America, but it's changed a lot over the past few centuries. Once a mostly rural swath of dairy farms, today it's a developed town of just over 8,000 people lying a stone's throw from the Delaware River and a short drive from Philadelphia. The people living here in the 21st century have traded their farm equipment for computers, with a larger proportion of tech and math professionals than 95% of the United States. This has led to Brookhaven's current economic diversity and identity as a comfortable but not overly fancy borough -- an environment that lends itself nicely to people looking for rental homes in Brookhaven.

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