Lenoir City, TN

30 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Lenoir City is the largest city in Loudoun -- the county known as being the "Lakeway to the Smokies." This medium-size city has a population of 8,642 residents who are lucky enough to benefit from some truly breathtaking mountain views in every season. If all this talk about the nearby Smoky Mountains gives you the impression that Lenoir City is isolated, however, then you'll be pleased to hear that there are four major federal highways going right through the city. These include Route 11, which runs along the river shore in an east-to-west direction; U.S. Route 321, which runs north to south; and Interstate 75 and U.S. Route 70. Both of the latter intersect on US-321 in the northern section of the city. See more

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