When you have a name as original as Waunakee, it's easy to list yourself as the only "Waunakee in the world." In fact, that's exactly what this village near Madison, Wisconsin uses as a catch phrase! While there might only be one Waunakee, the city offers plenty of parks and picturesque scenes that you'll only get in this Midwestern state. Plus, Waunakee is right next to Madison and just a hop, skip and a jump away from Milwaukee to the south or Green Bay to the north.
Waunakee represents the type of village where life happens at a slower pace, people feel comfortable raising a family and everyone knows your name. Speaking of names, Waunakee joins many cities and towns in Wisconsin that derive from Native American words. Waunakee itself means "peaceful one," and there couldn't be a better word for a town that has barely over 12,000 residents (2010 U.S. Census stats). What the village lacks in modern amenities it more than makes up for with almost a dozen parks in just a few miles, a fishery and all the winter sports that you could ask for. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Waunakee 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.
