Finding a pet friendly building can a difficult task!

Finding a pet friendly building can a difficult task!

At Miami Condo Living we understand the challenges that pet owners encounter when searching for the perfect condo in Miami.  One can easily become overwhelmed by the amount of choices and the time required in finding the property that meets everyone’s needs, including the four-legged family members.  Whether or not pets are allowed is a serious dilemma for dog owners who are planning on moving or considering expanding their family with a loyal pet friend.

Due to a high demand in Miami’s city lifestyle, an abundance of residents are now sharing their amenities,
not only with their fellow neighbors, but also with their dogs/cats. This growing demand has resulted in many residential condominiums placing new restrictions and amending their pet policies.  Buyers/tenants of pet owners need to familiarize themselves in advance with the building’s restrictions on pet ownership.

Of the condominiums that allow pets, there are also many levels of pet guidelines ranging from weight and breed restrictions, policies about barking, keeping dogs on leashes, proof of up-to-date vaccinations, and the number of pets you’re permitted to own.  Additionally, although a building might be pet-friendly, tenants will also need to have the landlord’s approval in writing, along with customary pet security deposit or fee. If you are looking for a condo in Miami that will be enjoyable for you and your pet, here are a few of our favorite ones:

    • Blue condominium in South Florida’s Edgewater community stands out from the crowd. The Blue building does indeed have distinctly blue architecture, but it’s the fantastic location that makes the unique Blue condo deserving of the name it goes by. Compared to other Miami high rises, Blue is tiny but it’s this small cozy feel, in addition to its location that make it simply delightful for both residents and their pets.  The Blue condo allows residents to share their condos with their furry buddies – whether it is a golden retriever or a miniature poodle, pets of all shapes and sizes are welcome. At the Blue condo, dogs can enjoy regular walks at the nearby dog park and even get pampered with goodies from the “treat jar” at the front desk.
    • Another wonderful place for fuzzy playmates can be found in Miami’s ICONic urban-chic wonderland iconbrickell. Designed by renowned firm Arquitectonica and interiors inspired by Yoo By Philippe Starck, iconbrickell rests on a ten-acre enclave on the edge of a 1000-foot Biscayne Bay waterfront, and is surrounded on either side by walking paths and lush green parks; the Miami Circle Park and Brickell Park. Not only does the icon brickell condo offer pleasurable waterfront walks for residents, it’s also perfectly situated, at the intersection of downtown Miami and Brickell. Owners of high-energy dogs can entertain them with extended walks, bike rides, or runs throughout the Brickell and greater downtown Miami neighborhoods.

Paramount Bay is a uniquely distinctive and lavish waterfront condominium, located in the Edgewater neighborhood, and only steps away from Margaret Pace Park.  Pet owners can begin and/or end their day by taking their pet on a leisurely walk alongside the coastal waters of Biscayne Bay, but tenant’s beware only resident owners are allowed to keep dogs, and there is a 35 lbs. maximum weight restriction on your pooch.

Other condominium’s such as Ugo Colombo’s prized and exclusive Santa Maria condominium and Bristol Tower condominium are located on Miami’s prestigious Brickell Avenue. Both have no pet restrictions for either tenant or owners.  Conveniently located just steps from both Santa Maria condo and Bristol Tower condo is 1814 Brickell Park and World Trade Center, a family and pet friendly park that offers lush landscaped areas, an elevated central grass court, and children’s playground.  It’s the perfect place for the whole family to have fun and play or just spend some time enjoying Miami’s great year-round climate.

The Grove Isle condo is in one of Miami’s best neighborhoods, sitting on a land mass called Fair Isle.  The 500 residents are spread out over the three Grove Isle condos. Living on a 20-acre man-made island has its privileges.  The Grove Isle resort living experience includes 11 green-clay tennis courts, 111-slip marina, restaurants, lounge, two gyms, three heated pools, valet parking, 24 hour security, private club, spa, hair salon, children’s playground, and it’s very own dog park!  Additionally, residents and mascots of Grove Isle Condominium in Coconut Grove can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle and take long walks on a dedicated waterfront walking path circling the island that’s filled with lush tropical gardens, trees offering shade, and colorful art sculptures.  Pet restrictions include a maximum weight limit of 25 lbs and three year lease commitment for renters. Since every situation is unique and subject to change make sure to ask about pet restrictions before moving.
