What it Means to Be Pet-Friendly at Artists Village

We know how important spending time with your furry friends is. Not only are pets great for your emotional well-being, but they also provide countless health benefits. That’s why it is so important to find a home where you and your pet can be happy.

At a pet-friendly community like Artists Village, you and your favorite animal will never run out of activities to do! Keep reading to learn more about our pet-friendly amenities and why owning a pet can be so beneficial to you.

The Benefits of Pet Ownership

First, let’s get into why we work so hard to provide our renters with a pet-friendly community. Research shows that pet ownership is connected to countless physical and emotional health benefits. According to WALTHAM , the Petcare Science Institute, pet ownership is associated with better heart health, a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and healthier responses to stress. Spending time with your pets can lead to more regular exercise as well as higher levels of mood boosters like dopamine and serotonin. Our emphasis on living a well-balanced lifestyle means we realize the importance of treating your pets like part of the family!

The Pet-Perfect Space

At Artists Village, we welcome dogs up to 50 pounds that are not on our restricted breed list, and cats are allowed at all communities. For more information about which dog breeds are restricted at our community, please call our leasing office. And if you’re interested in owning a different small animal, don’t worry: We also allow hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, and more, as long as they are registered with the office and kept in a sanitary condition.

Whatever your pet, you both will love lounging around and exploring your new home in our spacious floor plans. Our one- and two-bedroom options will both leave plenty of room for you and your pets to cuddle up together or spend some time in your own space. We also offer several pet-friendly amenities such as Pet Waste Stations throughout the property , beautiful outdoor spaces for you to explore on your daily walks with your pup, and a gated dog run area.

The Ideal Location for Pet-Friendly Activities

Artists Village’s location is also perfect for walks around downtown. We are walking distance from great restaurants and entertainment venues like 4th Street Market, Eat Chow, Yost Theater, and more! If you’re looking for other outdoor sites, we are less than a five-minute walk from Birch Park , which features pathways perfect for a stroll with your dog. You will never run out of things to do to spend quality time with your pets!

We are so happy to provide you with a pet-friendly community we know you and your pets will love! With the benefits of pet ownership, our pet-perfect space, and an ideal location, we can’t wait to welcome you and your pets to your new home!
