New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, hosts an annual apple harvest festival each September, even though October is National Apple Month. The apples are likely descendants from trees planted in Pennsylvania by the real Johnny Appleseed in the late 1700s. At least, it's fun to think so!
New Cumberland is a borough that is not even a whole dot on the map with its total landmass of 1.7 square miles. That doesn't mean it's any less proud of its community of 7,277 residents. Since it's approximately 95 percent residential, there's not much in New Cumberland in the way of attractions. Despite its "smallness," the little borough has some claims to fame. For one, its eastern border is on the Susquehanna River. It has an Olde Towne and hosts an annual Apple Harvest Festival. Also, the residents in New Cumberland can wave at the people living in the capital city of Harrisburg, which is on the other side of the river. Mostly, it's a place to hang your hat at night and get to know your neighbors. See more
Finding an apartment in New Cumberland 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.
