Donna, Texas was named during a secret meeting of most of the town's residents, who decided to show their appreciation for the town's prominent developer by naming the town after his daughter. The new name was revealed at a surprise party at the train station and they say there was not a dry eye to be found.
When you think of the old West, or Texas at that, you think of horses, cowboys and huge beef steaks roasted over an open fire. What you don't think of is a quaint little town called 'Donna'. You'll find Donna way down near the Mexican Border in West Texas. Donna is about 15 minutes east of McAllen and a half hour west of Harlingen. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Donna 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.
