New Windsor, NY

20 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

By American standards, New Windsor has been around a long time; it was founded in 1762, and was named after Windsor, England. It's best known for its pivotal role in the Revolutionary War, when it served as an important depot for the Continental Army and its medical department. You can even visit the army's last encampment here, as well as a number of historical buildings from the period. With a population of 8,822, New Windsor manages to maintain its own small town identity, so that it's hard to believe that it's only 55 miles from the Big Apple. Somehow, the shadow of New York City never quite reaches this gentle, historic town, and this makes it an ideal place for folks to live who prefer to work in the city and commute home to a quieter place.

Finding an apartment in New Windsor 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.
