Palos Hills, IL

307 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Similar to other southwest Chicago suburbs, Palos Hills is inhabited primarily by homeowners rather than renters, so you won’t find too terribly many rentals in the city. But, don’t mistake a lack of quantity for a lack of quality. Apartments in Palos Hills tend to be top of the line and often come equipped with modern kitchens, furnished interiors, patios, balconies, swimming pools, walk-in closets, on-site laundry facilities, and more. And they won’t cost you an arm and a leg, either: even luxury apartments and condominiums in Palos Hills typically go for under a grand, with one bedroom rentals and studios usually available in the $700 - $800 range.

When you’re ready to submit a leasing app for your Palos Hills dream apartment, be prepared to show proof of income, banking info, a couple forms of I.D., and a list of previous residences. Also, because many property managers run background/credit checks on prospective tenants (those pesky troublemakers!) you’ll need a respectable cosigner to seal the deal if you have some black marks in your leasing history. Pet owners, meanwhile, will be glad to know that pet-friendly apartments in Palos Hills are there for the taking, but they typically cost an extra $50 or so in rent each month. Same goes for furnished rentals and short-term lease deals.

As far as neighborhood differentiation goes, you won’t find much difference between the handful of ‘hoods in this semi-affluent little bedroom community. Fortunately, you won’t find much crime, either: Crime rates in Palos Hills are among Chicagoland’s lowest, and there’s no such thing as a sketchy part of town. Still, don’t take our word for it: Come see with your own eyes (or just eye, if you’re a pirate or something) whether or not Palos Hills is a good fit for you and yours before slapping your John Hancock on a leasing deal.

And now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get down to business and find you a super sweet apartment for rent in Palos Hills, Illinois. Best of luck and happy hunting! See more

Finding an apartment in Palos Hills 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.
