Pea Ridge gets the best of both worlds: Ohio and West Virginia. Sitting just two miles from the Ohio River that separates the two states, Pea Ridge gives its residents a nature experience unlike any other, with the Beech Fork State Park on one side and the Mill Creek Wildlife Management Area on another.
Pea Ridge is a town of around 6,600 residents spread into a 2.3 square mile area. This means that it's pretty tightly packed -- almost 3,000 people per mile. But it comes with a big trade off! Pea Ridge is located in the middle of thousands of square miles of uninhabited wilderness. Sure, there are small towns spread in between, but other than, miles and miles of empty wilderness lie in all directions. Pea Ridge really is a forest village when you look at it like that. See more
Finding an apartment in Pea Ridge 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.
