"Weirdness is not my game. I'm just a square boy from Wisconsin." (- Willem Dafoe)
Mount Pleasant is a village in Racine County that rests 30 miles to the south of Milwaukee in Wisconsin. Home to about 26,000 people as of 2010, Mount Pleasant is currently one of the fastest developing communities situated along the western shore of Lake Michigan. The true beauty and draw of this area is its peaceful and relaxing small town feel. And coupled with all that peace and quiet is big-city access: It's nestled between two thriving metropolises, with Milwaukee 30 miles to the north and Chicago just across the state line, 60 miles to the south, in Illinois.

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