City Guide for Lake Shore, WA

Lake Shore is located near the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, established in 1824, which marks the location of the Hudson Bay Company's largest fur trading post west of the Rocky Mountains, considered the most important activity center for the settlement of the entire U.S. west coast. This is the location where American settlers first arrived after traversing the Oregon Trail and received supplies that allowed them to survive their first months in the unfamiliar west.

Lake Shore, Washington is a tiny suburban area covering just 1.6 square miles, but it's located on the northern edge of the city of Vancouver, which has a population of 165,000 and is considered part of the Portland, OR metropolitan statistical area. Lake Shore is a census designated place in the southwest corner of Washington state on the eastern shore of Vancouver Lake. Locals consider Lake Shore to be a neighborhood of Vancouver just like communities to the east, Starcrest and Hazel Dell North. In fact, when you live here you get a Vancouver address. How neat is that? Lake Shore ranks 63rd out of 522 areas of Washington in per-capita income, and you're going to find a lot of newer, larger rental homes options here. Lake Shore lies about five minutes away from the banks of the Columbia River, which if you follow it west will lead you to the Pacific Ocean or to the east up the Columbia River Gorge and some of the most under-rated, breath-taking scenery in all of the U.S. This community also is a little more than an hour's drive away from skiing on Mt. Hood, and about the same distance from hiking, camping, mountain biking, fishing and other outdoor recreational pursuits at Mt. St. Helens. Yes, that Mt. St. Helens. Don't worry it's not supposed to erupt any time soon. At least, not before the lease expires on your new rental home in Lake Shore. See more

What to keep in mind when looking for dog friendly apartments in Lake Shore, WA

Finding an apartment in Lake Shore 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.
