"Carry me back to old Virginia, There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow." - James Bland
Nestled among the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, Christiansburg is the fourth largest town in the Commonwealth of Virginia with 21,00 residents. Just minutes from Virginia Tech and Radford University, it earned its reputation as a college town, but it has a rich history and attractions that allure more than just college students. The mountains provide many trails for hiking and outdoor activities and the town is considered the retail hub of the New River Valley for those shopaholics out there. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Christiansburg 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.
