Capitol Yards features an onsite bark park, giving your pup a dedicated place to stretch their legs, socialize, and burn energy without having to leave the community.
Convenient walking and bike trails for daily movement
Some days, the best pet perk is simply having an easy route for a quick loop. Capitol Yards includes convenient walking and bike trails, which makes it easier to fit in morning potty breaks, after-work walks, and low-stress movement for dogs who thrive on routine.
Full-size washers and dryers for pet cleanup days
Mud happens. Shedding happens. And sometimes a “quick walk” turns into a full-on bath situation. Capitol Yards offers full-size washers and dryers in each home, making it easier to keep washable pet gear fresh.
Additional storage and garages
Additional private storage and garages are available at Capitol Yards, giving pet owners a convenient place to keep crates, extra food, and supplies without cluttering your living space.

Tips for Pet Owners When Apartment Hunting
When you’re searching for an apartment with pets in mind, it helps to evaluate more than “pets allowed.”
- Read the full pet policy before you tour
Look for limits on number of pets, deposits/fees, and any restrictions. Capitol Yards welcomes up to two pets, with no weight restrictions and some breed restrictions. Find other details like pet rent and deposit here: Capitol Yards Amenities & Pet Policy - Ask about day-to-day pet convenience
A dog park and nearby walking routes can make a bigger difference than people expect. Capitol Yards’ onsite bark park and walking/bike trail access are practical perks for daily life. - Consider storage and cleanup logistics
If you’ve ever tried to store a kennel, extra litter, or a giant bag of food in a tight closet, you already know. At Capitol Yards, garages and storage options help keep pet gear organized, and full-size washers and dryers make cleanup days easier. - Check nearby backup shopping options
The most pet-prepared households still run out of something. Having multiple nearby pet supply stops, including a local feed shop and a big-box option, adds a layer of convenience for quick essentials.
The Takeaway: Pet-Friendly in the Ways That Matter
Capitol Yards’ pet-friendly approach isn’t just about allowing pets, it’s about supporting real-life pet ownership. With an onsite bark park, convenient trail access, full-size washers and dryers, and extra storage and garage options for pet gear, Capitol Yards helps make everyday routines smoother.
