South Williamsport is home of the Little League World Series. What more need be said?
South Williamsport started as two separate settlements, Bootstown and Rocktown. Encompassing the southern shore of the Susquehanna River, the area was officially incorporated as South Williamsport in 1886. It's larger namesake is across the river to the north, while the boroughs of Armstrong Township and Duboistown border South Williamsport to the east and the west. South of town lies Bald Eagle Mountain. The city is fairly narrow and only fills out 2.1 square miles. The population is estimated at roughly 6,000 and growing. But geography conspires against development in South Williamsport. View South Williamsport City Guide
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for South Williamsport 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.
