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.
