What truly transforms an apartment into a comfortable, inviting home? Well, that depends on who you ask. For some, it’s top-of-the-line amenities in an ideal setting, with the perfect amount of square footage to give you all the space you really need. For others, while all that stuff is important, too, it’s about being able to bring along their beloved furry pal for the journey. Lucky for you, Monterra’s pet-friendly apartments in Bellingham, WA, give you both, so you don’t have to think for even a moment about making the tough decision between your best four-legged friend and the type of living space you deserve.

One of the most important considerations when bringing a dog into a new home is determining just how much outdoor space there is for Fido to stretch its legs. Of course, you’ll find some grassy areas surrounding our community that are perfect for shorter daytime walks. But when you’re really looking for an extended excursion, you’ll be thrilled to learn that the Sehome Hill Arboretum is just a quick walk down the street. The 180-acre deeply forested park is a part of neighboring Western Washington University and is chock full of trails for you and your fur friend to stroll along. Just make sure to keep your pup on a leash at all times.

When it comes to caring for your pet, there are two options in the immediate vicinity, making trips to the vet easy as can be. Less than half a mile away is the Village Veterinary Hospital, the go-to location for locals. With around 20 staff members and more than 5,000 active patient households, you know you’ll be getting top-notch care here. For more niche coverage, Animal Eye Care is even closer, and they can help you and your pet out with any issues they may be having with (you guessed it) their eyes.

Of course, there’s also that one hugely important thing all pets need every day: food! In the same center as the aforementioned pet hospital is petStop, where you can find seemingly endless options of premium pet food.

So, if anxiety about whether you'd find a place that lets you bring your beloved animals along has kept you awake at night, you can rest easy. You can have both!
