Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Do you charge pet rent?
    Yes, there is a one-time fee of $400/pet, which is due when you move in to your apartment, plus $20/month pet rent for one pet, or $30/month total pet rent for two pets. Our apartment community is pet friendly. We added a Dog Park in Spring 2017, plus several of our pet-friendly apartment buildings allow large dogs (more than 25 pounds).

  3. Can I have an outdoor grill on my apartment deck or patio?
    You may have an electric grill. By order of the fire marshal, gas grills, charcoal grills, and pellet smokers are not permitted. We also have three outdoor charcoal grills located on site in the stone fireplace and BBQ areas, so if you want that charcoal taste, you can still have it.

  4. Do you have any 1-bedroom or efficiency apartments?
    No, we only have 2-bedroom apartments and 3-bedroom apartments at Fox Lake. All 3-bedroom apartments are located on the 2nd or 3rd (top) floor of the buildings. All ground level or first floor apartments are 2-bedroom layouts, some of which have a bonus room.

  5. What kinds of dogs are allowed in the apartments?
    We do not allow German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Pit Bulls or other dog breeds that are known to be aggressive or dangerous. Please note that all dogs, no matter the size or breed, must be approved by the property manager prior to move in. If your dog has a history of biting people for whatever reason, we cannot accept them on property. This is for the safety and well-being of all of our residents. Your animal's shot records and a veterinarian recommendation may be required prior to approval and move-in.
