Little Hewitt, Texas, just located outside the notorious Waco, actually has a couple of movie mentions to its credit. Probably the most recognizable is Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, in which the pair is headed to a wedding in one of the character's hometown, Hewitt.
Hewitt, along with several neighboring communities and some unincorporated areas of McLennan County, is served by the Midway Independent School District. There are six elementary schools, two intermediate schools, one middle school and one high school. The climate of east Texas is much like most of the South. Summers are hot and humid (thanks to the Gulf of Mexico), topping out at a wet and sticky 95 in July. This often feels more like 100 with the heat index. Winters are significantly milder, bottoming out in January around 33 degrees. The area gets about 33 inches of rainfall and averages about one inch of snow per year. The population of Hewitt is 13,368, as of 2010. The area grew slowly and steadily until the 1970s, when it started growing like weeds in the garden. Jobs here are an even mixture of professional positions and unskilled labor, with much of the workforce serving in sales, education and office jobs. Two accredited non-profit hospitals serve the Hewitt community, Hillcrest Health System and Providence Health Care Network. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Hewitt 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.
