Studies Show that Renters Want Pet-Friendly Apartments

“I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.” – Jean Cocteau

“For me a house or an apartment becomes a home when you add one set of four legs, a happy tail and that indescribable measure of love that we call a dog.” – Roger Caras

These two quotes really illustrate how most people feel about their pets. For many, pets are treated and loved like a member of the family, which makes pet-friendly features a major contributing factor to any decision on where to live, especially in the renting industry. However, you may have never really realized how important pet-friendly features really were until now.

In a recent study conducted by Apartments.com, more than 80% of respondents said a pet-friendly policy played a major role when it came to choosing an apartment. And, 30% took it a step farther by seeking out apartments that were close to pet amenities like dog parks, walking trails and a veterinary office. Apartments.com polled more than 1,000 renters nationwide in their survey.

Obviously, people want to live with their pets because an apartment is not a home without them. This is a concept that Glen Lake apartments fully understands.

Whether it’s the spacious townhomes available for rent or the unbeatable location near Perimeter, residents and their pets find many reasons to fall in love with Glen Lake. Those in the market for  a pet-friendly apartment in Atlanta, need to make Glen Lake the first stop on their list.
