"If I ever felt like I was getting lost in the hurricane that was storming around Nirvana, I'd just go back to Virginia."- Singer / songwriter Dave Grohl
Hollins Virginia is such a treasured gem that it isn't even a full-blown incorporated city. Technically, it's a census-designated place (CDP), but who's nitpicking? This comfortable, scenic little area is located between two counties and is in an area of Virginia known as North Country. It is a good size with plenty of things to do without all of the headaches of a big city. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Hollins 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.
