Ormond Beach, FL 64 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Once the domain of the Timucuan Indians, the area wasn't inhabited until the Quakers (blown off course) landed here in 1643. They didn't make it, though, as the Native Americans destroyed their settlement. It eventually became a plantation, and now, it's one of the best places to find an apartment for rent during the summer months. In fact, many wealthy Northerners enjoy it during the cold winter. Overall, it's a suburban area with a bit of tourism thrown into the mix. View Ormond Beach City Guide

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