Best Pet-Friendly Apartments in Austin

by | Jun 20, 2022 | Austin, Austin Apartment Search

Austin intentionally built up a reputation as one of the most pet-friendly cities in the country. In fact, businesses here love dogs more than people, and some even go to great lengths to design pet-friendly spaces. It would be difficult to find a restaurant patio or bar that doesn’t allow dogs, and the city’s numerous parks also make our four-legged friends feel right at home. In a canine-loving city such as Austin, apartment buildings typically allow pets, unlike many other places that lean the opposite direction. We compiled a list of the best pet-friendly apartments in Austin to make your search for a new home that much easier. 

Need an apartment for you and your furry best friend? We can help! AptAmigo’s apartment locators know all the best pet-friendly buildings in Austin. Contact us to start your free apartment search today.

The Bowie is incredibly modern and luxurious. You can live lavishly with your four-legged companion, enjoying floor-to-ceiling windows and spectacular views of Austin. Your pet will love the Bowie’s 10th-floor outdoor dog park and their grooming room. You’ll also reside a short walk away from Austin’s beloved Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, perfect for when your pup could use some extra exercise. Be sure to stop by the Auditorium Shores dog park to let your dog socialize with other fellow Austin pups.

The Santal

Address: 7624 Tecoma Cir, Austin, TX 78735

Why We Love It:

Perhaps you and your pet would feel more at home outside of Downtown. In this case, consider an apartment at the Santal in the Westlake area. They provide all of the space you need both inside the units and in the area surrounding the complex, which includes a spacious dog park and green areas throughout the neighborhood. Here, you’ll receive a level of privacy that you wouldn’t necessarily get in other neighborhoods. It will feel like you live in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, while still only being a short drive to Downtown. The Santal is located near the beautiful Barton Creek Wilderness Park, which will become your new favorite spot to walk your furry friend.

The Sienna at the Thompson has a little something for everyone! Dogs will love their spacious indoor dog park, while you enjoy their in-house sports simulator and music room. You and your pet will live in luxury at the Sienna, with gorgeous views of downtown, a restaurant and bar within the building, and a rooftop deck. Pamper your canine companion at their luxurious dog spa after getting physical at the dog park or at their state of the art 4th-floor fitness center. We love this area of Downtown that also happens to be just a short walk from the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail that your dog will love.

When looking at Zoey, it’s hard to believe a complex in such a spacious outdoor area can sit just southeast of Downtown Austin. Newly built in 2021, you and your four-legged family member will adore this complex and the surrounding neighborhood. Situated just blocks from the Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Metro Park, you will never be too far from the spacious outdoors. 

Zoey understands that your pet is a part of your family, and they welcome them with open arms, a dog-wash room, and a pet-friendly community.
