Dating back to the early 18th century, the Borough of Sharon Hill got its name from a local estate named "Sharon." A Quaker, Halliday Jackson, owned the property, and his ancestors came to America in the early 1700's from Ireland.
Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania is located just south from the heart of Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. As such, even though Sharon Hill has a quiet, suburban village character to its neighborhoods, you will have access to all the best professional sports, entertainment, dining, shopping and excitement a big city has to offer. With an estimated population of 5,697, Sharon Hill is tiny compared to the nearby cities of Philadelphia, New York City and Washington D.C. The region is central to American history, so if scouting out sites from the Revolutionary War or Civil War lights your fire, then this community will delight you. The area has Independence Hall, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Franklin Institute and the Liberty Bell. For children, the Please Touch museum gives them a chance to explore without the restrictions of a typical art gallery. If you need even more choices, New York City is a hop, skip and a jump away, either by car or by public transportation. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Sharon Hill 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.
