How to Find Pet-Friendly Senior Gated Communities in Boynton Beach FL

Looking for a gated senior community in Boynton Beach FL?  The listing says pets allowed so it must be ok.  Not so fast!  Listings are often wrong.  And while one gated community in Boynton Beach may accept your dog, another may not.  It's not as easy as one would think. 

 

Gated communities and senior gated communities have pet restrictions.  Some gated communities are breed restricted.  Some are restricted by the number of pets you may have.  Some are weight restricted.  More often than not, this information is not on the listing.  And, it can change from year to year so, as a buye,r you need to be up on it if you're the owner of a fur kid or two or three.  Whatever.  You get my drift.  We love our pets like children and, if you're like me, you're not moving anywhere without them.  So, Buyer Beware and plesae take heed of this advice.  I can recount too many horror stories for you.  

 

If you find a 55+ community you're interested in, find a good buyer's agent who will go the extra mile it takes to make sure your cats and dogs will be as welcome as you in your new home.  You don't want to get your approval letter the day before closing only to find out you've been accepted but Rocky has not.   You will not be a happy camper.

 

Each gated community has its  own set of bylaws and rules and regulations, which are updated from time to time.  So, while they once might have accepted six dogs, today they will accept only tow or three.  And while they once restricted pit bulls, that list hasnow  been expanded to included German Shepherds,  Rottweilers, Dobermans, etc.  Not every gated community, mind you, but some.  You must do your due diligence or hire someone who will do it for you.

 

If you are a pet owner, I know how much this means to you.  Don't all into the trap.  Do it right from the beginning.  Your choices may be limited but they usually are still there.  Contact a pet-friendly buyer's agent who does this 24/7.
