There’s a reason Los Angeles is one of the most populous cities in the United States. It’s because the weather is amazing, the scenery is stunning and the people are entirely unique. With so many amazing attributes drawing people from around the world to L.A. in droves, apartment communities are taking note and developing amenity packages that appeal to the pets moving to Southern California as much as the people.
Whether you’re a dedicated dog person, a cat lover or just someone hoping to adopt a furry friend sometime in the near future, the apartments listed below all go above and beyond when it comes to providing the resources you need to enjoy apartment life to the fullest with your four-legged roommate.
