We’re going to focus on pet-friendly housing in West Campus, and highlighting some great properties with their breed restrictions, number-of-pet restrictions, along with any pricing information. If you have pets that you’re wanting to bring from home, or want to keep the option open to have pets after you move – be sure to ask your agent to check with property policies before touring!
