The pandemic changed a lot about the way we live. And, during our periods of prolonged isolation, many people turned to pets to cope with loneliness. It’s no secret. Pets are proven to help with mood and can even have positive physical effects on the body, such as lowering blood pressure, or helping owners become more active.
Pets are family. And when you choose a new place to live in Dallas, it’s essential to find the right fit for everyone—fur, feathers, and scales included.
The best way to scope out the perfect pet-friendly apartment is to contact a local apartment locating agent who knows where to find them. (Psst, that’s us!) Instead of checking every apartment building website for pet policies—or worse, calling them all because they don’t list it—use our concierge service to discover the right place.
From reasonable pet deposits, to gaining quick access to dog-friendly green spaces, check out some of our favorite buildings for you and your pets.

Hang out with your pets in your apartment, which features an open layout where you can keep an eye on them, and stained concrete flooring they won’t tear up.
