Once the epicenter of the Seattle area's coal and timber industries, East Renton Highlands has made an enviably smooth transition into the modern age, with all the comfort that implies.
The term "commuter city" can be pretty misleading when it comes to the Seattle area. Industry is so widespread that when it comes down to it, everybody is commuting to one place or another. When it comes to East Renton Highlands, however, the description is more apt than most. Nestled underneath not one but two expansive nature preserves, the 11,000 residents of this mostly residential city are very happy to leave the bustle of work for nearby communities, so long as they can return to their beautiful vistas at the end of the day.

Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for East Renton Highlands 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.
