How did Front Royal get its name? Responses vary from a secret password during the Revolutionary War to a militia training command. The most popular version: In French, the area was called "Le Front Royal," referring to the British frontier. French settlers, trappers, and explorers were describing the land grant made by King Charles II. And in English, "Le Front Royal" translates as the "Royal Frontier." You don't need a crown or a throne to move on in today.
Front Royal, the County Seat of Warren, VA, is a community that houses over 14,000 residents. Known as the "canoe capital" of Virginia and located 70 miles west of Washington, D.C., Front Royal is a part of the lush Shenandoah Valley. Both the beautiful Shenandoah River and the entrance to the Shenandoah National Park Skyline Drive begin here. See more
Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Front Royal 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.
