Leominster, MA 25 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Founded in 1740, the city of Leominster has a long and varied history. Starting off as a farming community, it quickly industrialized in the 19th century, and became an early producer of plastic, one of the first in America. It's now moved away from manufacturing, and is one of the largest retail destinations in Central Massachusetts. This, combined with low land prices, and a lower cost of living, makes it a popular community for commuters to Boston and Worcester. The large number of performance groups, art programs, theaters, and the ever popular Thayer Symphony Orchestra are also pleasant diversions for city residents and frequently draw crowds from the nearby communities.

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