City Guide for Richmond, KY

Looking for an apartment rental in Kentucky's finest? Well, Richmond is a good place to start. We've put together a helpful little apartment guide to help you get a feel for living and renting in this nice country setting.

Richmond is a city with both country-fried small-town friendliness and modern suburb conveniences, such as mall shopping, grocery stores, a really nice golf course, and a nice, old Main Street with local bars and restaurants. For live music, Richmond residents can head on over to the Currier's Music World on Main Street. However, the best way to pass time around here is with a fishing pole. Check out all the nearby lakes, rivers, and streams and you will find some great fishing holes, not to mention a few good ol' fish tales to tell your friends.

Cheap apartments and duplexes can be found throughout the city. Apartments can cost anywhere from $400 to $600, so there are plenty of rentals available for any budget-minded renter. Or, if you want to get a little more fancy with your new property, check out some of the new, roomy townhomes on Taylor Fork Lake, which rent in the $1,200 - $1,300 price range.

When it comes to amenities, rentals around here provide the bare minimum. You might get a laundry room and some BBQ pits, but that's about it. So, look for those rental properties that offer a convenient location for having fun, rather than trying to find apartments for rent with a hot tub, a fitness center, or any other fancy-pants luxuries.

If you’re looking for a pet friendly rental, then a little more legwork may be in order. Most apartments have varying pet policies, so you will have to call and make sure they fit your needs. Also, plan on saving up an extra $200 or so for the pet deposit.

Like the town, this guide will be nice, small, and simple. There's not a whole lot to know, but there's plenty of things to get into around here. So, come on down and check everything this city has to offer. Good luck!

What to keep in mind when looking for dog friendly apartments in Richmond, KY

Finding an apartment in Richmond 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.
