Is the New Eastside Downtown Chicago's Dog-Friendliest Neighborhood?

If you’ve ever lived in a Chicago condo building, no matter the size, you probably understand why some buildings have various pet restrictions that limit certain dog breeds, the size of dogs, and of course the number of dogs you can have inside your condo. Part of such restrictions is to minimize how much of a disturbance you or your dog will be to your fellow residents, while other reasons may include additional maintenance or cleanup around the building or to reduce the potential for property damage a dog may or may not cause.

Regardless of whether you own a teacup Yorkie or 50 pound Lab, it’s always important to understand pet regulations for a condo building you’re considering before signing on that dotted line. As expert Chicago real estate agents, we always try to keep up with various building rules and policies, however, it’s also important for home buyers to understand that requirements are always changing and it’s best to let the agent you’re working with know right away that you’re a dog owner looking for a new condo around the downtown area.

Believe it or not, downtown Chicago is actually a very pet-friendly environment and many condo/rental buildings allow dogs. In fact, some buildings even have first-rate pet-specific amenities like an on-site dog walk or grooming services inside the building to accommodate dog owners. But as one may expect, some locations in the Windy City are a bit more practical when it comes to pet-friendly spaces and there may be no better downtown neighborhood for dog owners to consider than Chicago’s very own New Eastside.

Nearly every building in the New Eastside is dog friendly, which certainly gives home buyers or renters options, and along with that, there’s even a dog park within the expansive 6-acre park space that’s centrally located in the middle of the neighborhood—which of course is also acts as a great place to take your dog for a walk or a run. So, if you prefer the high-rise lifestyle and want the ideal downtown location for both you and your pooch, the New Eastside may just be the perfect fit.
