South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a city in its own right, separate from actual Milwaukee. The founders created it in the late 1800s and apparently just couldn't get too creative about the name, because it is just where you would expect it to be -- south of Milwaukee.
As of the last large census back in the year 2010, South Milwaukee had a population of just about 21,000 people. This exciting suburban city has a total land area of just under 5 miles with a very small body of water within its borders. Many important and mildly famous individuals have called -- and still call -- South Milwaukee their home. William P. Atkinson, a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, lives here. Jackie Kashian, famous stand-up comedian, was born here, and pro wrestler Reginald "The Crusher" Lisowski has also spent quite a lot of time living in South Milwaukee. But you don't have to be a famous comedian or pro wrestler to find a good reason to live here. If you're looking for a convenient, fast-paced, and exciting place to live, look no further than South Milwaukee. There are many parks for outdoor enjoyment, museums, galleries, fine dining establishments, attractive homes of all sizes, as well as apartments. This community also offers quick access to the Great Lakes and greater Milwaukee area. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for South Milwaukee 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.
