Today, Coebourne's name is all over town, from the elementary school to Coebourne Boulevard. Suffice it to say that Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, has a lot of history, and that charm comes through in the colonial architecture and community spirit. Brookhaven is one of the oldest continually occupied settlements in North America, but it's changed a lot over the past few centuries. Once a mostly rural swath of dairy farms, today it's a developed town of just over 8,000 people lying a stone's throw from the Delaware River and a short drive from Philadelphia. The people living here in the 21st century have traded their farm equipment for computers, with a larger proportion of tech and math professionals than 95% of the United States. This has led to Brookhaven's current economic diversity and identity as a comfortable but not overly fancy borough -- an environment that lends itself nicely to people looking for rental homes in Brookhaven.

Finding an apartment in Brookhaven 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.
