The Urban Planned Worker Community in East Chicago--known as Marktown--was built in 1917 and is considered one of the 7 wonders of Northwest Indiana. In Marktown, you walk in the street and park on the sidewalk!
In addition to parking on the sidewalk in Marktown, East Chicago is a pretty cool place. You will find everything you need here, and if by chance you don't, Chicago is close at hand. You really won't need the big city, though, because East Chicago has it all -- thanks to it's proximity to Lake Michigan. This waterway has been an important part of the city since it was founded and has led to incredible economic opportunities for the nearly 30,000 residents of this city. See more
Finding an apartment in East Chicago 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.
