Apartment hunting can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. You'll want to start by narrowing down your list of must-haves, while making sure you are in a good neighborhood. Another thing to consider is the style, size, and budget of the apartment you want. Does a studio apartment fit your needs, or would you rather have an extra bedroom for guests or an office? Does a loft-style apartment tickle your fancy or does a simple efficiency suit your needs? It doesn't matter what lifestyle you lead, Clearwater is sure to have the perfect apartment for you!

Pet-Friendly Apartments

Will your furry, four-legged friend be coming with you when you relocate? Finding a pet-friendly apartment in Clearwater will be a walk on the beach. If you own a pet, it's important to find a community that will allow you to keep your furry friend in the apartment. Before choosing the best apartment for you, you'll want to check with each community about their requirements, fees, and any possible restrictions they may have. Some apartment communities have restrictions on different breed types or even the weight of your pup. Many apartment communities will also charge either a one-time deposit or monthly fee for living with your pet. Be sure to also consider apartments with amenities to meet your pets needs like a dog park or nature trail. There are also pet parks and pet-friendly beaches nearby such as Enterprise Dog Park.

Smoke-Free Apartments

We are all aware of the effects of smoking, which is why many people are now quitting the use of tobacco or never taking up the habit in the first place. If you prefer a smoke-free apartment, you're in luck as the majority of apartments in the area prohibit smoking inside the unit. With a smoke-free apartment, you won't have to worry about finding cigarette butts all over the walkways. You also won't have to worry about neighbors smoking right outside your front door or smoke wafting in from other areas of the community. You will be able to open your windows on a cool winter day and not have to worry about your apartment smelling like an ashtray. If those benefits weren't enough, think of the health benefits of not smoking or breathing in someone's second-hand smoke. Having a smoke-free apartment in Clearwater should be a no brainer!

Handicap-Accessible Apartments

If you or someone who will be living with you needs special assistance there are a wide-variety of handicap-accessible apartments in Clearwater. These types of apartments make it easier to live your day to day life. Some of the features of these apartments include a walk-in shower, elevators, wider doorways, and lower sinks and electrical switches. Each community is different, so make sure you look into exactly what is offered. If you have a service pet, worry not! Service animals are not considered pets and are able to live with you at no extra cost. You can even find public transportation near your Clearwater apartment that is handicap-accessible. Make sure you talk with the apartment community to make sure that they can meet all of your needs and make modifications to your apartment if necessary.
