Not to be confused with North Carolina's largest manmade lake that is fed by the Catawba River, Lake Norman of Catawba is a community in Catawba County that lies along the northwest bank of the large Lake Norman. The more than 7,000 residents that call Lake Norman of Catawba home don't find this too confusing, and if they do, the plethora of recreational activities found in the surrounding area more than makes up for the sometimes confusing identity crisis. Of the community's 28 square miles, about 9 of them are water. Lake Norman of Catawba is growing rapidly with a 56% jump in population since 2000. Housing prices have increased as well, so choosing a rent to own option in the community would be wise. Many residents live in the small community and commute south to Charlotte, north to Statesville or Hickory, or east to Mooresville. See more

Finding an apartment in Lake Norman of Catawba 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.
