Hicksville, NY

63 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Located in eastern Nassau County and the dead center, north-south wise, of Long Island is the hamlet of Hicksville. An unincorporated collective area within the Town of Oyster Bay, Hicksville is bordered on the south by the eponymous Levittown, and has many similar qualities to the post-World War II version of suburbia. Along the many main arteries that crowd the town such as Old Country Road, Broadway, and Newbridge Roadare a series of strip malls, furniture stores, and other types of commercial development. The most notable industrial aspect of Hicksville is the large Broadway Mall, which is home to IKEA, Macys, Target, a large multiplex and around 100 other shops--shopaholics will swoon. See more

Finding an apartment in Hicksville 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.
