At Urban Living 305 we
understand the challenges that pet owners encounter when searching for the
perfect condo in South Florida. 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 urban lifestyle, a plethora of residents are now sharing
their amenities, not only with their fellow neighbors, but also with their
four-legged friends. 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 four
legged friend, here are a few of our favorite ones:

| Resident at Blue with her pet |
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.

are spread out over the three Grove Isle condos. Living on a 20-acre manmade island has its
