115 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Situated on the confluence of the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers, McKeesport is an excellent place for fishers, boaters, and river-floaters to rejoice in the beauty of a water-fueled community. This is a city where you can park your boat at a marina, hop off for a picnic, enjoy a little music and dancing, and then return to your floatable sanctuary on the water for a little R&R. Off the water, can find plenty of other fun and interesting things, such as a show at the Renzie Park band shell, or a hike along the Great Allegheny Passage (which, by the way, you can hike and bike along all the way to Washington D.C.!). It's an interesting and ever-evolving city, and it can all be experienced at very cheap rates. Rentals typically cost about $400 - $650, giving you tons of options at cheap, cheap prices. There are old apartments in small brick buildings, duplexes, deckers, as well as rental homes, all for less than $700!

Since most apartments in McKeesport are housed in old brick buildings and homes, there aren’t many community extras for renters around here. There are no apartment buildings with swimming pools or fitness centers. In fact, the most you can expect amenity-wise is a place to park, a place to sleep, and a place to do laundry.

Looking for a pet friendly property rental? Well, it may take a little extra legwork, but they do exist around here. Pet friendly apartments, and especially dog friendly apartments, are little harder to come by. And, if you do find one, then you can expect to pay both a pet deposit and a monthly pet rent, which could have you paying hundreds of dollars to bring along the dog. So, whether your pets are part of the family or you just can't say no to those puppy eyes, be prepared to pay for it.

Those are all the tips and tricks you need to find the perfect new rental in McKeesport. Best of luck on the home hunt!

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