Whitehall is said to be named after White Hall tavern, which still stands in neighboring Brentwood.
What makes the borough of Whitehall stand apart from other suburbs of Pittsburgh? You may well ask. If you took a walk down Brownsville Road, one of the main streets of Whitehall, and took a quick survey of the residents, then you would likely get a wide range of different answers to the question of why they like to live there. Keen golfers will cite the South Hills Country Club. Everyone, minus a few miserable misanthropes, would be likely to talk about the close-knit neighborly spirit that exists in this community of fewer than 14,000 residents (2010 U.S. Census). See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Whitehall 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.
