53 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Riding a wooden roller coaster named Tail Spin was once a rite of passage for every resident of Muskego. Now, only the sign remains. Somehow, that's okay. Life continues. Three lakes are still here to keep everything looking beautiful. For the 24,135 residents of Muskego, all will be just dandy, so long as they can view the sunset against Big Muskego Lake. Sunsets don't get shut down like old roller coasters do, so it's going to take an apocalypse to make things in Muskego less dandy. See more

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