Pet-Friendly Developments
Clancy Quay in Dublin 8, a Kennedy Wilson development with views over Phoenix Park, has numerous apartments reserved exclusively for pet-owners and has a gated dog-park on site, aptly named the ‘Bark Park’ – so as well as the freedom of Phoenix Park for leisurely walks, your beloved pet can have social interactions with others. Socialising with fellow pups is critical to ensure your dog leads a happy and well-balanced life. Cleverly, a further amenity of the scheme is the dog wash conveniently close to the Bark Park, meaning dogs can be washed down before going back inside – and a clean dog means no mess inside the property for the landlords.
Knockrabo in Goatstown is a luxury scheme of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments and penthouses suitable for a variety of tenants, from downsizers, to those looking to work from home close to the city, or small families testing out the Dublin 14 area. By adopting a pet-friendly approach to renting each category of tenant is catered for.
Coming to the market soon will be Belvoir, a Havitat development in Stillorgan. The pet-friendly scheme will be offering one, two and three-bedroom apartments in the landscaped gardens of Kilmacud House.
If you are considering renting with your faithful companion, be prepared that some schemes may require a ‘pet premium’, which can vary in price depending on the scheme - but a small price to pay for living alongside your four-legged friend.
