Northampton, PA's big claim to fame is its history as center of the universe for the manufacture of cement. It was a big-wig in this industry until the 1980s.
Northampton isn't a city, town, or village. So what is it? This place is actually a borough, and a smallish one at that. It spans just 2.7 square miles. You could walk the whole borough in less than an hour if you really wanted to. As far as residents are concerned, Northampton is pretty densely populated for such a small community. According to the Census, it's home to over 14,000 people. The community is tightly knit enough to have dances, holiday celebrations, and bingo night. And if a dog goes missing? That news is big enough to end up on the main page of the borough's official website. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Northampton 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.
