That's right: Rhode Island may not be much in size; but its smallness makes it an exclusively unique state to live in. Meaning that whoever resides here is part of a select group of individuals. Imagine hailing from the smallest state in the U.S. You will be part of something special, and Rhode Island as a state will be special because you're there. It's a perfect combination.

Aside from being fun to say go ahead, say Pawtucket and try not to smile. The fourth-largest city in the smallest state in our union has plenty to offer to a variety of renters. Pawtucket has transformed itself from a tough and dirty industrial town into a revitalized, artistic community that has made use of the historic locales by turning them into places for artistic pursuit.

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