Soddy-Daisy is kind of an unusual name for a city, isn't it? The Tennessee city actually got its name from the incorporation of two cities, not surprisingly named Soddy and Daisy. How those cities got their names is some matter of debate, though. Soddy is rumored to come from the Cherokee word tsati, although some people think it may also have been named for early trader William Sodder. Daisy seems to come from the Daisy Coal Company that once had operations here.
Today this uniquely named city is a fast growing town about 20 miles north of Chattanooga. Sodd -- as the locals call it, which refers to the whole town -- still holds on to its small town values, no matter how much it is growing. Yes, the downside of this kind of small town life is that everyone knows all your business, but it also means that neighbors look out for one another. It's a true community, and they will always roll out the welcome mat for another newcomer. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Soddy-Daisy 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.
