In Moon Township, Pennsylvania, just outside Pittsburgh, sits Robert Morris University. Many have heard of the school, but Morris is not a name that gets brought up much in history class, although he almost single-handedly financed the colonists' Revolutionary War effort. Even less well-known is that Morris died practically penniless in 1806, having speculated on frontier land acquisitions that would not come to fruition until after his death.
Just south of the Ohio River sits Carnot-Moon, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh.

Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Carnot-Moon 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.
