Keep Your Dog in Tip-Top Shape During Canine Fitness Month at These 10 Pet-Friendly Apartments

Getting your beloved pooch the right amount of exercise can be difficult sometimes, especially if you’re too busy with school and work to have a consistent routine. Consequently, that walk around the block once or twice a day might not be enough to keep your dog in shape.

Ashley Gaudreau, owner of My Busy Dog, notes: “It definitely depends on the breed and how long the walk is. For smaller breeds, a regular walk is definitely sufficient. For larger, active breeds, a simple walk around the block would not be sufficient. They need a longer duration of exercise – and often running, playing fetch or swimming helps exercise them quickly.”

In honor of Canine Fitness Month, we’ve chosen 10 Greystar apartment communities that offer exceptional dog parks, pet amenities and surrounding areas to keep your four-legged friend happy and healthy.

Aston in Chicago, Illinois

Situated in the vibrant neighborhood of Streeterville and within walking distance of Chicago’s flagship attractions including Michigan Avenue and Navy Pier, Aston is an idyllic urban oasis for anyone looking to dwell in the heart of the Windy City. Don’t worry, either. This luxury apartment community treats four-legged friends exceptionally well. Whenever it gets too chilly to walk your pup, just stop by the ultra-convenient indoor dog park to let your pooch meet with his or her friends. During warmer weather, you and your dog can enjoy a pleasant jog along the beautiful Chicago Riverwalk a couple of blocks away.

Elan Flower Mound in Flower Mound, Texas

Elan Flower Mound is an upscale community nestled near beautiful Lake Grapevine, making it a peaceful retreat from the bustling Downtown Dallas. In addition to the abundance of scenic trails nearby, this community provides a well-kempt dog park for your furry pal to run around and play. If your buddy gets a little too dirty, just stop by the pet spa and give him or her a warm bath.

The Preserve at Travis Creek in Austin, Texas

Sitting on 64 acres of natural preserve with several surrounding hiking trails, The Preserve at Travis Creek Apartments in Austin makes an excellent choice for pet owners. On-site, this luxury community makes it easy to get your pup in great shape thanks to the ½-acre enclosed pet park with agility equipment.

WaterMarke Tower in Los Angeles, California

You and your pup will truly feel like an A-list celebrity when you move into the 35-story Watermarke Tower in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles and just steps away from L.A. Live. Whenever you’re not running the streets with your pet, you can mix and mingle with other residents and pooches at the dog park or soak up sprawling downtown views from the 75-foot rooftop pool.
