Lago Vista, TX

102 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Lago Vista is a gorgeous little city in the hill country about 20 miles northwest of Austin, Texas. Located on the northern shore of Lake Travis (which looks like the shadow of a dragon from the air), this scenic community was incorporated in the early 1980s, but was actually developed in the 1960s as a lake resort. Back in the 60s, summer homes, camping facilities and water sports were the main attractions of the area. The population has grown to 6,369, and continues to steadily increase as people fall in love with and move to the area. This is the hill country, and part of the amazing allure of living in Lago Vista is due to the tiered landscape that affords a large portion of its residents stunning lake views. See more

Finding an apartment in Lago Vista 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.
