Recently, I worked with buyers who have 2 dogs. They seriously considered a new condo development in Oak Park and mentioned the dogs to the staff at the sales office who didn’t mention an issue with the dogs. Later while at an open house for a townhouse in neighboring Forest Park, they mentioned the dogs and that they had considered the new condos in Oak Park to the hosting agent. The hosting agent informed them much to their surprise that they couldn’t have more than one dog in a condo in Oak Park!
That isn’t exactly true. According to the city of Oak Park, up to 3 dogs are allowed in Oak Park townhouses and up to 2 dogs are allowed in units in 2 and 3 flats. These can be condos. However, in all other condos (including the new condos my buyers considered!) the one dog rule applies. Read “Facts About Keeping Animals in Oak Park” for the details.
