Tips from Unehasim
- Make a list of requirements for your pets’ comfortable living — from quiet neighbors to proximity to veterinarians and parks.
- Visit the chosen apartment at different times of the day to assess noise and neighbor activity.
- Discuss with your agent the possibility of adapting the apartment for pets: protective screens, floor coverings, additional storage.
- Consider apartments on lower floors or with a small balcony/yard — convenient for walks and ventilation.
- Plan separate areas for sleeping, playing, feeding, and grooming pets — this improves comfort for the whole family.
