"The stars at night are big and bright / Deep in the heart of Texas / The prairie sky is wide and high / Deep in the heart of Texas." -- "Deep in the Heart of Texas" by Gene Autry
The beauty of Canyon, Texas was best captured by renowned artist Georgia O'Keeffe during her time as the head of the art department for West Texas State Normal College, soon to be West Texas A&M University. Canyon is in Randall County, just south of Amarillo -- which is known as the flattest place on earth. Amarillo means yellow in Spanish, and the area does, in fact, have a yellowish look. The Canyon area is famous for inspiring the beautiful works of artist Harold Dow Bugbee, as well as countless other artists and photographers. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Canyon 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.
