Top 10 pet-friendly apartments

In Queensland, 62% of households have some type of pet. And it is fair to say most people consider their pets part of the family (there is a reason, after all, that the term ‘fur baby’ has made it into the dictionary). Research has actually shown that having a pet is good for you – they can help improve sleep and self-esteem, as well as decrease loneliness, depression, anxiety and blood pressure. This is all well and good if you live in a house, but apartment dwellers have been running into problems of late. Finding a pet-friendly apartment building has become notoriously hard for Brisbanites and Gold Coasters alike.

While there is debate over whether anyone can legally stop you having a pet in an apartment that you own, there are often restrictions on pets in the buildings rules and regulations, and you sometimes have to apply to the strata body to have the pet approved. If you are in the market for a new apartment and can’t bear the thought of parting with your four-legged friend, then fear not! PropertyMash has scoured the city and found a number of off-the-plan developments advertising as pet-friendly apartments. The best part is, we’ve bought the top ten of these together in a handy list, just for you.
