Of course you\u2019ll be looking at the outdoor space, but it\u2019s smart to think beyond the property line. After all, the neighborhood itself can make a huge difference in your\u2014and your fur kid\u2019s\u2014quality of life. A few signs you\u2019ve crossed the border into dog heaven?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. There are more groomers in a two-mile radius than hair salons. Walk-in appointments welcome!<br \/>\n2. When you overhear people talking about scheduling play dates, they\u2019re talking about their dogs\u2014not their kids.<br \/>\n3. Forget doggie bags; the local restaurants have doggie menus.<br \/>\n4. The shops are pup-friendly too, with treats and bowls of water at the ready. How about a glass of water (or even better, champagne) while I shop?<br \/>\n5. You have to wait in an endless line at Starbucks to use a restroom, but the streets are basically lined with pet waste stations\u2014lucky dogs.<br \/>\n6. Gourmet doggie food trucks are a real thing.<br \/>\n7. The dog park is bumping day and night. It\u2019s a regular mutt market (sorry).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What to Look For<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On a more serious note, there are certain factors to keep in mind as you start house hunting with pets in tow. First, think about what type of home will work best for your pet (lots of stairs = tough for seniors; tiny apartment = not great for a high-energy dog). Then share that info with your Coldwell Banker Real Estate professional, who can point you to dog-friendly listings you\u2019ll love too. Other things to be on the lookout for :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Neighbors with Dogs : They\u2019ll be more understanding of the occasional bark-fest (and maybe even willing to share their go-to dog walker).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pet Shops : Lots of pet-oriented businesses means plenty of other dog parents live in the area\u2014and that you won\u2019t have to walk or drive miles when you accidentally run out of kibble.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ample Sidewalks : No one wants to walk on the shoulder of the road, especially on late-night walks. Bonus points for pet waste stations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Neighborhood Parks : Especially in urban areas\u2014check if there are off-leash hours and dog runs, or at least grassy areas where pups are welcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meetup Groups : Look for active Meetup groups for your breed or type of dog. You and your pup just might make some new friends.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.coldwellbanker.com\/neighborhood-pet-friendly-heres-tell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Is Your Neighborhood Pet Friendly?
