Middleborough Center, MA 17 Apartments for Rent with Hardwood Floors

Like a lot of places in Massachusetts, Middleborough Center is a place that's steeped in history. The town, part of next door Middleborough, was founded in 1661, when English settlers came over from Europe. Over time, the town grew, and it developed its largest industry: shoes. The town, particularly Middleborough proper, also produced tons of cranberries, eventually becoming the location of the world's Ocean Spray headquarters. Today, Middleborough Center has no particular industry. In fact, the town is pretty sleepy; however, it does have a vibrant community, and its spectacular location (with equally easy access to Boston up north and Newport, RI down south) makes it an ideal place to live.

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