"…Nowhere in all America will you find more patrician-like houses; parks and gardens more opulent, than in New Bedford." (-Herman Melville)
The rest of Melville's description of New Bedford were not as kind, perhaps because he wrote about the city during a time when it was largely known for its whaling industry and was sparsely populated. Today, the city of New Bedford boasts a population of approximately 100,000, and while it remains a famed whaling era seaport, it is now the number one fishing port in the United States.
New Bedford, MA is a charming sea town decorated with beautiful coastlines, public parks, and beaches. The town was founded in 1787 and has a rich and celebrated history. New Bedford is the sixth largest city in Massachusetts, and is often still referred to as "The Whaling City," recalling its past as the most important whaling port in the world. The city has been home to many famous people throughout its history, most notably the abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who settled here in 1838. A historic building and monument stand in his honor today. See more
Finding an apartment in New Bedford that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.
While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.
If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
