Home to Southern Methodist University, the Bush library and the (presidents) Bush family, the Highland Park area is one of North Texas' crown jewels. But oddly, it was a Yankee from Philly (Henry Exall) who broke ground on the modern-day Highland Park. Back in the 1800s, Exall's intention was to create a development called Philadelphia Place. A bad economy caused him to abandon his plans and opened the door for Dallasite John Armstrong to snatch up some of the land and develop it as Highland Par...
Today, Highland Park, located about four miles north of downtown Dallas, has an approximate population of 8,500 people who reside within its roughly 2-square-mile boundaries, according to the last U.S. Census. Probably due to its close proximity to "Big D," the median commute time for Highland Park residents is just 16.3 minutes. Less than 4% of residents drive 45 minutes or more to work. Less time commuting equals more time enjoying life. And there's plenty to enjoy if you're fortunate to live in Highland Park. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Highland Park 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.
