We generally welcome any animals you'd find at your local pet store to join you in your home. Pets that are not cats or dogs must continually stay in a cage or tank, are limited to two per apartment, and do not require a fee. Aquarium tanks larger than 50 gallons, non-domestic animals, venomous animals, and exotic pets are not allowed. In addition, please note that all pet deposits and non-refundable fees must be paid before moving in. Service animals are welcome in our community and are not limited by a weight restriction.

We require residents to have renters insurance with at least $300,000 liability coverage. While we encourage all residents to have renters insurance through the provider of their own choice, we also offer the option of enrolling in our Liability Only Protection Program.
