Pet Friendly Gated Communities Boca Raton FL 

 

Gated communities are a way of life in south Florida and Boca Raton.  If you're a cat or dog owner and thinking of moving to Boca Raton or south Florida, it's important to know which gated communities are pet friendly, if you're looking for a gated community.    Where can I live?  Good question!  Because I know you're not coming without Max or Chloe.  At least, not if you're like me.  

 

Gated communities vary by location, price and type of home.  Regular gated communities do not have equity memberships - there are no additional fees other than your homeowner's fees.  There are gated communities that have only condos, villas and townhouses like the pet friendly gated community of Boca Ridge in Boca Raton FL while most gated communities have single family homes.  

 

Will the dog decide where I live?  Most likely, yes.  Reason being if you have a Golden Retreiver, you cannot go to a gated community that accepts only small dogs.  If you have a small dog, you can, however, go to a community that accepts larger ones.  Crazy, isn't it?  Please don't hurt the messenger.  I didn't make the rules, but I have to follow them.  

 

But first you have to decide if you want to live in a cat and dog friendly gated community, and there are plenty of them around.  Living in a gated community in Boca Raton or south Florida comes with rules and regulations.  For example, you cannot paint your house purple.  Garbage gets put out after 6:00 on certain days.  They

may have rules about renting your house - you may have to wait a year before you can rent it.  Some people are fine with gated communities; others prefer a single family home on a street.  Gated communities, especially pet friendly gated communities, give you a sense of community.  You meet the neighbors while out walking your dog.  You may meet them down at the clubhouse, in the fitness center or at the pool.  In a single family home, you'll meet the neighbors walking your dogs too.  There is a sense of community, but there is no clubhouse or community pool or fitness center, so there you have a difference.

 

What if I have a large dog?  What if you do?  There are pet friendly communities in Boca Raton Florida that allow large dogs.  What if I have more than one dog?  What if I have three dogs?  There are dog friendly communities in Boca that allow three dogs.  What if I have two dogs and two cats?  Your choices will definitely be more limited, but it is doable (of course depending on price as they vary.)

 

You're thinking of moving or ready to make this move.  Where do I start.  Start by contacting a buyer's agent first.  Why do you need a buyer's agent?  Maybe you're going to look at building a new house.  You need a buyer's agent even more.  Should I hire a Buyer's Agent for New Construction?  You should hire a buyer's agent for new construction or for a resale - any time you are thinking of buying a property.  Why?  It's simple.  The sales people at the builder work for the builder.  They do not work for you.  They'll help you, but remember, they're out to sell you and sell you high.  The listing agent on a resale will work for you, but, remember, they work for the seller.  They're out to get the seller the highest price possible.  They'll help you, but you won't save on the commission.  Please don't think that for a second.  They will collect a double commission at the end of the day.   And best of all, buyers agents are free to buyers!

Elyse Berman, PA

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®
