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.

When you’re moving to Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or Highland Beach with furry family members, you need to work with an experienced, caring and committed REALTOR® who understands the challenges you face as a pet parent. You need Elyse Berman. After growing up in New York and working as a Court Reporter in a fast-paced judicial system, Elyse moved to Boca Raton in 1994. Her goal: to be close to the beach. With three kids and two dogs, her family settled in a pet-friendly gated community – but when the kids grew up and moved out, she decided it was time to live like she was on vacation every day in a place right on the beach. However, Elyse quickly learned that not all beachfront properties in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach are pet friendly. Some have confusing pet rules that change frequently – and some claim to be pet friendly but only allow birds and fish. Elyse’s addiction to research, fueled by her love of real estate, the law and her dogs, helped her discover her passion for helping people find pet-friendly homes in Boca Raton and the surrounding communities. (You can learn more about how and why Elyse became Boca Raton’s premier pet-friendly REALTOR here.) With an ever-evolving list of which condominiums and communities are pet friendly (as well as what restrictions they currently impose on buyers), Elyse is ready to help you find the perfect place to live in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or Highland Beach. Her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market dates back to 1994; she’s seen new communities spring up, watched old communities become revitalized, and kept an eye on all the complexes, neighborhoods and subdivisions in the area for years. Call Elyse (561) 716-7824 Email Elyse Elyse@ElyseBerman.com She’s with you every step of the way, from your first tour of a home to closing (and beyond.) In fact, she stays in touch with many of the people whose homes she helped find – and she’s even sold those same homes decades later. She truly wants her clients to be happy, so she answers her phone and will never pass you off to a team member. Having made a cross-country move herself with a husband, three kids, two dogs and a business to run, Elyse knows all about the challenges you’re facing – and she can help you find a pet-friendly gated community in Boca Raton, a pet-friendly condo, a pet-friendly 55+ active adult community or anything else you’re looking for. Elyse loves dogs (well, all pets, actually) – and she makes it her business to keep up with the communities that accept furry family members. She personally wouldn’t move anywhere that wouldn’t allow her pets, and she won’t expect you to, either. She’ll never ask you to get rid of a pet or waste your time; she really understands what it’s like to have to find a place that’s suitable for all members of the family. No pets? No problem – Elyse also understands people who want to live in pet-free condos and neighborhoods. She can help you pinpoint all the best places to live. Elyse currently volunteers her time on the Professional Standards Committee (after having served on the Grievance Committee) for the Board of Realtors®, where she continues to learn. Serving on these committees is a lot like court reporting, which is why she loves it. Additionally, in order to better serve her clients, Elyse has attained the following designations along with membership in the following organizations: CRS – Council of Residential Specialists ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative GRI – Graduate Realtor’s Institute E-Pro – Internet Certified – Technology Certification Program C2EX – REALTORS® Commitment to Excellence Member National Association of REALTORS® Member Florida Realtors® Member Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors® 2018 – 2020 – Grievance Committee – Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors® 2021 – Present – Professional Standards – Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors®
