DC's Most Luxurious Pet-Friendly Apartments

Luxury living in DC doesn't stop at the doggy door. While some buildings are stringently anti-animal, the following are more than welcoming to pampered pups and coddled kitties.

1. Camden NoMa

Neighborhood: NoMa
Developer: Camden
Rent: $1,500-$4,200
Pet Fee: $400, plus $50 rent
Pet Amenities: Pet spa, play area, enclosed private dog park

Camden NoMa has almost as many amenities for pets as it does for humans. With a full-service pet spa, Fido is treated like a king.

2. Apartments at CityCenter

Neighborhood: CityCenter
Developer: Hines
Rent: $2,591 to $7,406
Pet Fee: $400, plus $50 rent
Pet Amenities: Rooftop dog walk

One of the newest, most expensive buildings in DC in Hines' $700M CityCenter development, Apartments at CityCenter offers a private rooftop dog walk and park called “SkyBark.” In DC, every species loves a good rooftop amenity.

3. Gallery Bethesda

Neighborhood: Bethesda
Developer: Donohoe
Rent: $2,001 to $4,500
Pet Fee: $400 deposit, $35 rent

This brand-new, luxury building comes with "Grrroom," a self-service dog-washing station that's open 24 hours. Considering all the new apartment construction in Southwest, Grrroom is Skyhouse's way of letting apartment-shoppers know the doggy door is open to them.
