For pet owners, finding a luxury apartment that truly welcomes four-legged family members can be a challenge. Many buildings have strict breed restrictions, weight limits, or excessive pet fees. We've compiled a list of the most pet-friendly luxury buildings in Texas.

What Makes a Building Truly Pet-Friendly?

Beyond just allowing pets, the best buildings offer:

• Pet washing stations
• No breed restrictions
• Reasonable weight limits (or none at all)
• Nearby green spaces and walking trails
• Pet-sitting and dog-walking services
