Rental House vs Apartments - Pros of Apartments in Clarksville, TN - Parc at Clarksville
The Pros of Renting an Apartment
Apartments Versus Rental Houses
Some people will never even consider renting an apartment because they do not contemplate the pros and cons before making a decision. They automatically assume a house is better than an apartment, but the pros and cons go far beyond the actual structures in question. When deciding to lease, some assume that renting a house is superior to renting an apartment, and it is in some cases, but others discover major disadvantages of living in a rental house long after moving in. The pros of renting an apartment are often overlooked, but only after choosing a rented house with more problems and issues than initially realized.
Not all rental houses come with problems or problem landlords, but renting from an individual can result in difficulties that do not typically occur when renting from a large apartment corporation. Contemplate the following benefits of apartment living versus renting a house, and ask former renters for landlord referrals. Bad landlords can be as aggravating and as undesirable as bad tenants. Also, apartments can include many perks and pros that are not usually included when renting a house, and those pros go far beyond the price. In any case, seriously consider the pros and cons of both before making a final decision.
Money-Saving Pros
When considering the pros of renting an apartment over a house, think about the overall cost. Many apartment complexes include water in the rental fee. Rental houses usually include nothing other than basic shelter. The cost of water, trash pickup, and sewage treatment can be tacked onto the overall cost of living when considering the price of a rented house, especially in a town with extra-high utility fees.
Find out the pros of renting an apartment instead of a house before making a decision. Is living in a house really worth the added effort and cost? Renting an apartment is usually less expensive in more ways than one.
Back-Saving Pros
Included maintenance is one of the pros of renting an apartment. When leasing a house, the lessee is usually required to mow the lawn, and if it is not mowed to the satisfaction of the landlord, the renter is charged whether the landlord ever lifts a finger to maintain the property or not. Mowing is a costly service if someone must be hired week after week, and this is another fee that can be tacked onto the overall cost of the rental. Even if the renter does not hire someone else to do the job, gas, oil and lawnmower maintenance comes with a price.
Consider the pros of included yard maintenance when trying to decide on a house or apartment. Maintenance is a very valuable benefit that is not generally included when renting a house. Do you want to do it all, or would you rather live in a well-maintained apartment and watch someone else do the work without having to pay extra?
Take a Good Look Around Any Rental Before Making a Decision
Many landlords are great, but others are difficult and do the bare minimum to keep their rental houses standing. The bad ones are nothing more than money collectors, and they do not repair or update anything they absolutely do not have to change. They pinch and pull pennies until they make copper wire, and their greed and blatant lack of concern is shameful to say the least.
Indoor and structural maintenance is one of the pros of renting a quality apartment, especially a complex owned by a large corporation. However, apartments have been known to fall apart just the same. It is necessary to really take a good look around whether the home is a house or an apartment before signing on the dotted line.
When considering the pros and cons of renting anything, does the flooring appear filthy, old and stained? Do the windows leak like gaping holes? These are just some of the issues to consider when planning on renting anything. They are signs of whether or not the apartment or house will be properly maintained in the months and years to come. Some landlords ignore repairs that do not involve the working components of the home. Doorbells, light fixtures, and even dishwashers become space wasters and ugly useless accessories when a landlord does not really care.
Those renting houses from neglectful landlords eventually end up moving. These places might as well have revolving doors. If they decide to continue leasing, many decide to rent a quality apartment instead of a house after having a bad experience, especially when the pros far outweigh the cons. They are soured by the thought of renting from another individual because of bad experiences and/or because of added work and expenses they had never before considered.

"The area now known as Tennessee was first settled by Paleo-Indians nearly 11,000 years ago. The names of the cultural groups that inhabited the area between first settlement and the time of European contact are unknown, but several distinct cultural phases have been named by archaeologists, including Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippian whose chiefdoms were the cultural predecessors of the Muscogee people who inhabited the Tennessee River Valley prior to Cherokee migration into the river’s headwaters.
When Spanish explorers first visited Tennessee, led by Hernando de Soto in 1539–43, it was inhabited by tribes of Muscogee and Yuchi people. Possibly because of European diseases devastating the native tribes, which would have left a population vacuum, and also from expanding European settlement in the north, theCherokee moved south from the area now called Virginia. As European colonists spread into the area, the native populations were forcibly displaced to the south and west, including all Muscogee and Yuchi peoples, the Chickasaw, and Choctaw. From 1838 to 1839, nearly 17,000 Cherokees were forced to march from “emigration depots” in Eastern Tennessee, such as Fort Cass, to Indian Territory west of Arkansas. This came to be known as the Trail of Tears, as an estimated 4,000 Cherokees died along the way.
The Transylvania Purchase, bought from theCherokee tribe, stretches from Sycamore Shoals inElizabethton, Tennessee to the Wilderness Roadinto Kentucky.
The area around Clarksville was first surveyed by Thomas Hutchins in 1768. He identified Red Paint Hill, a rock bluffat the confluence of the Cumberland andRed Rivers, as a navigational landmark.
In the years between 1771 and 1775, John Montgomery, the namesake of the county, along with Kasper Mansker visited the area while on a hunting expedition. In 1771, James Robertson led a group of some twelve or thirteen families involved with the Regulator movement from near where present day Raleigh, North Carolina now stands. In 1772, Robertson and the pioneers who had settled in northeast Tennessee (along the Watauga River, the Doe River, the Holston River, and the Nolichucky River met at Sycamore Shoalsto establish an independent regional government known as the Watauga Association. However, in 1772, surveyors placed the land officially within the domain of the Cherokee tribe, who required negotiation of a lease with the settlers. Tragedy struck as the lease was being celebrated, when a Cherokee warrior was murdered by a white man. Through diplomacy, Robertson made peace with the Cherokees, who threatened to expel the settlers by force if necessary.
In March 1775, land speculator and North Carolina judge Richard Henderson met with more than 1,200 Cherokees at Sycamore Shoals, including Cherokee leaders such asAttacullaculla, Oconostota, and Dragging Canoe. In the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals (also known as the Treaty of Watauga), Henderson purchased all the land lying between theCumberland River, the Cumberland Mountains, and the Kentucky River, and situated south of the Ohio River in what is known as the Transylvania Purchase from the Cherokee Indians. The land thus delineated, 20 million acres (81000 km?), encompassed an area half as large as the present state of Kentucky. Henderson’s purchase was in violation of North Carolina and Virginia law, as well as the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited private purchase of American Indian land. Henderson may have mistakenly believed that a newer British legal opinion had made such land purchases legal.
All of present day Tennessee was once recognized as one single North Carolina county: Washington County, North Carolina. Created in 1777 from the western areas of Burke and Wilkes Counties, North Carolina, Washington County had as a precursor a Washington District of 1775-76, which was the first political entity named for the Commander-in-Chief of American forces in the Revolution."
