The Perks That Make Pet Life Easier

Life with a pet is full of little joys, from a happy greeting at the door to a favorite napping spot in the sun. Our apartments with dog amenities in Philadelphia were set up with those small moments in mind, so every day feels a little easier for both of you.

  • A Home That Fits You Both. Choose from 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, furnished options included, with plenty of room for a sunny window perch, a stash of favorite toys, and all the little things that make a space feel like home for both of you.
  • Exclusive Lifestyle Services. Through our partnership with Amenify, residents can access personalized services like home cleaning and pet care, an easy way to give your best pal a little extra attention on busy days.
  • Hardwood Floors for Easy Living. Muddy paws and water bowl spills are no match for these floors, easy to wipe down, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing together.
  • Private Balconies and Patios. In select homes, a private balcony offers a little outdoor space right at home, perfect for fresh air, nap time, or a front-row seat to the skyline.
  • Dog Parks Close to Home. Just a 5-minute drive away, you'll find two favorite spots for your best pal. Schuylkill River Dog Park offers separate play areas for big and small dogs, with fresh turf and water stations to cool off. Seger Dog Park brings its own neighborhood charm, complete with community events like summer concert nights.
