Floris was once known as Frying Pan, and still has a park named exactly that. Jumping out of the Frying Pan and into Floris doesn't explain the origin of the original name. There are two theories: miners, soldiers, or Native Americans left a frying pan in the area when leaving camp quickly, possibly in the 18th century. Or the shape of a water flow caused the name to be used. The mystery lives on!
With a population of just over 8,375 as of the 2010 census, Floris is a community in the greater Herndon, VA area, just 31 minutes from the nation's capitol. It is primarily known as a bedroom community for the Washington, D.C. area. View Floris City Guide
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Floris 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.
