Lexington, NC

82 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Lexington is located within the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina, which means that it’s in close proximity to three great major cities. You’ll find Winston-Salem about 20 miles to the north, High Point 18 miles east, and Greensboro 30 miles northeast. Suburban development has recently made Lexington into a bedroom community of these larger cities. That means that you’ll find a great, diverse rental market here, with everything from studio apartments to large rental homes available.

Now, let’s talk about the important stuff: Lexington’s famous barbecue. There’s only one right way to have it: pork shoulder cooked over a hardwood fire and served with red slaw. With approximately one barbecue restaurant per 1,000 residents, you’ll want to allow yourself plenty of time to sample and compare the offerings. If that isn’t enough for you, the annual barbecue festival will douse you in more pig blood than Carrie on prom night.

Most long-time Lexington residents maintain a serious distrust of large rental properties. However, the recent influx of young professionals commuting to the Piedmont Triad cities has brought in some posh apartment rental development.

The most notorious of these posh rentals is the Reserve at Regents Center. Located in the far eastern portion of town near the medical center, this huge development offers short term lease deals and has tons of amenities including a gym, swimming pool, and clubhouse. Unfortunately, all this convenience comes with slightly higher price tag. These two bedrooms are some of the most expensive in town, ranging from $600 to $750.

You’ll find a handful of other large and fairly decent Lexington apartment complexes — including the well-regarded Forest Ridge — scattered throughout town. Many of these apartment rentals have similar features to the Reserve at a lower cost. Two bedrooms in other Lexington apartment complexes generally range from $500 to $700.

The best deal in Lexington real estate is by and large the fantastic houses for rent. Regardless of size or feature, you’ll be sure to locate a wonderful rental home or a duplex with great small town North Carolina charm. Two bedroom rental homes range from $500 to $700.

I’ve got great news for animal lovers! Lexington rentals are by and large incredibly pet friendly. Most apartment complexes and rental homes are both cat and dog friendly. Some may require an additional pet deposit, but overall Fido and Fluffy will be welcomed with open paws.

So welcome to Lexington! Enjoy all that this up-and-coming Piedmont Triad city has to offer! See more

Finding an apartment in Lexington 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.
