123 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Taylor, Texas, was founded in 1876 when the International Great Northern Railroad came to the area. Taylor was named for a railway official and was called Taylorsville until 1892. The population exploded in the early 20th century because of the railway station, railway repair shops, cotton mills, and a local electrical company. Modern economic growth in Taylor is a lot calmer than it used to be; now, a little over 15,000 people have made this their home. See more

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