4 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Cheap apartments, you’ll be glad to know, rule the roost in Stephenville, where the average rental goes for only $700, and campus area apartments are usually available for considerably less. Amenities range from basic to lavish, depending on how many greenbacks you’re willing to fork over. However, even some of the most modestly priced rentals come equipped with modern appliances, gourmet kitchens, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, gyms, clubhouses, and more. Waiting lists, fortunately, are pretty much nonexistent in Stephenville, so feel free to shop the market leisurely without worrying about the perfect apartment slipping out of your grasp. And, don’t forget to bring along proof of income, banking info, two forms of I.D., and a list of previous residences when you’re ready to submit a leasing app. Also, if you’re a student with no job, no income, no credit, and no leasing history (hey, at least you still have your dashing good looks or something), you’ll need a respectable cosigner to help seal the deal.

Planning to share room and board with a furry four-footed roommate by any chance? Sounds like you’ll be needing a pet friendly apartment in Stephenville. Fortunately, you’ll find a nice selection of pet friendly (including dogs allowed) rentals in and around town. Just be prepared to pay an extra $25 or so in rent each month (or an equivalent one-time fee) if you’re roommate is of the feline, canine, bovine, or UFO variety.

Crime rates, fortunately, are extremely low throughout the city, and violent crime is extremely rare (so don’t bother packing your bullet-proof vest). Still, like pretty much any modern city, the “Cowboy Capitol of the World” does see its fair share of petty (dare we say keg party-inspired?) crime and vandalism. Obviously, be sure to visit Stephenville in advance to see if you’re comfy with its vibes before signing a lease. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet community surrounded by open spaces, cattle, and the occasional UFO sighting, you’re better off concentrating on the rentals farther away from TSU. Likewise, if you’re a student, you might feel a bit out of place on the wide open, landowner-occupied outskirts.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time for the fun part: finding you the apartment of your dreams in Stephenville, Texas. Best of luck and happy hunting! See more

Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Stephenville 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.
