Renters Beware — Pet Owners Read This Before Signing
July 9, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
If you’re considering moving to Parker Towers with a dog, you need to know what you’re actually signing up for — because the reality does not match the advertising.
Parker Towers promotes itself as a pet-friendly community, but the lease itself explicitly states dogs are prohibited unless management approves otherwise. There are strict size and breed restrictions, a hefty monthly pet fee, and many residents here clearly dislike dogs and have been known to report fellow tenants for minor ...
infractions.
The one real dog amenity — a turf dog run — has been closed and locked for over seven months with no explanation. The temporary alternative is a rat-infested, garbage-strewn, mushroom-growing mulch pit that is also locked at night, meaning the once-24-hour relief area no longer exists.
The so-called “new” dog runs under construction are much smaller, use hard concrete surfaces, and are designed to share space with a children’s playground — which raises serious safety and usability concerns. They have also been plagued by construction delays, with no definitive timeline for when they will actually open.
What was once a genuinely pet-friendly community under the old management has become an infuriating and disheartening place under the new management — defined by constant excuses, a complete lack of transparency, and disregard for both dogs and their owners. Management is full of empty promises and excuses, takes no accountability, and treats residents like an inconvenience.
Despite the glossy ads, this is not a welcoming place for pet owners. Read the fine print, ask direct questions, and understand that the “pet-friendly” branding is misleading at best.
