Welcome to Lathrop! This northern California city has a laid back vibe and tons of great real estate. So, let's have a look at renting in this little city these days, and then find you the home of your dreams.
What’s so great about Lathrop, huh? Well, first of all, it’s close to everything — just five miles from Manteca, 11 miles from Stockton, 58 miles from Sacramento, and 75 miles from the Bay Area. Also, because Lathrop is at the intersection of State Route 120 and I-5, it’s an easy commute in pretty much every direction.
Secondly, Lathrop is a small community with tons of great amenities. Besides proximity to bigger cities for those with a livelier taste, the town also has easy access to plenty of local shopping, dining, and entertainment. However, due to its size, Lathrop still has more community charm and laid-back vibes than, say, Sacramento or Stockton. The city also operates several great parks with recreational opportunities, walking trails, playgrounds, and even camping.
Lathrop is growing very quickly, with lots of new developments diversifying the rental market. And, since the overall city is quite safe, you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating rental properties that suit your needs — even if that’s a studio apartment — somewhere in one of Lathrop’s pleasant neighborhoods.
Okay, so the first thing you’re going to find when you start your apartment hunt is a lot of large rental homes located in the far southwestern portion of town, in the development known as Mossdale Village. If you’re looking for tons of space, garages, fenced-in yards, and suburban living, this area is perfect for you. These sprawling homes generally range from $1,500 to $1,800, and frequently come with their own swimming pool.
The rest of Lathrop is scattered with smaller, more modest (and affordable!) houses for rent. Northwest of the city center you’ll frequently find smaller ranch-style homes that rent for $1,150 to $1,350.
While there aren’t many apartment complexes in Lathrop proper, as you head southeast towards Manteca, you’ll find a handful of newer developments. These apartment rental communities frequently have a swimming pool and gym. Two bedrooms in this portion of town generally range from $950 to $1,150.
Good news for Lathrop pet lovers! Many area rental homes and apartments are pet friendly. Certain landlords may charge exorbitant pet deposits upon lease signing, but overall the Lathrop rental market has plenty of places with both cats allowed and dogs allowed!
So welcome to Lathrop! Enjoy all the cheap apartments and rental properties that this conveniently located community has to offer! View Lathrop City Guide
Finding an apartment in Lathrop 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.
