How to Choose an Apartment if You Have Pets (448)
Introduction
Buying an apartment with pets requires a special approach. In Haifa, different neighborhoods and buildings have unique characteristics: noise levels, balconies, elevators, and walking areas. Choosing the right apartment helps create comfortable living conditions for both pets and the whole family.
What to Pay Attention To
- Balconies and Windows
- Ensure balconies are safe for pets (secure railings, no gaps).
- Check windows and ventilation for pet safety.
- Entrance and Elevator
- If you have large pets, evaluate the convenience of the elevator.
- A clean and well-maintained entrance reduces the risk of problems with neighbors and unpleasant odors.
- Neighbors and Noise
- Find out if there are children or other pets in the building that may disturb your pets.
- Assess the noise level in the neighborhood.
- Proximity to Amenities
- Presence of parks, squares, and designated pet areas for walks.
- Convenience of access to pet stores, veterinarians, and groomers.
- Materials and Apartment Finishes
- Choose flooring and surfaces that are easy to clean.
- Walls and furniture should be resistant to scratches and potential damage.

- Make a list of requirements for comfortable living for your pets.
- Visit the apartment multiple times at different times of day to assess noise and neighbor activity.
