Kings Mountain is named after a famous (and important) Revolutionary War battle that took place just minutes away. Today, it attracts history buffs and tourists who enjoy the area's historic battlegrounds, as well as its natural scenic beauty.
In a region teeming with Civil War lore and antebellum artifacts, King's Mountain differs from the norm by being rich with Colonial American history. With its close proximity to one of the region's most important battles during the Revolutionary War, Kings Mountain enjoys a certain amount of tourism thanks to nearby Kings Mountain National Military Park. Don't expect it to be just another sleepy Southern town, however, because it also boasts a thriving business community, state-of-the-art medical facilities, and a fabulous golfer's mecca, King's Mountain Country Club. With a population of 10,296, this hive of modern living is set among gracious, rolling hills that make you think of a gentler time when ladies and gentlemen played croquet. Tennis and golf may have replaced the croquet hoops, but folks here still sit on their front porches and sip iced tea -- and they're just as likely to invite you over for a glass. It's that kind of town. View Kings Mountain City Guide
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Kings Mountain 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.
