Finding a pet-friendly apartment near Baylor is harder than it should be. Most student-leaning complexes either ban pets outright, have breed restrictions that exclude common large breeds, or layer on fees that make the total cost prohibitive. Centre Apartments is openly pet-friendly with a one-time $350 pet fee and $30 per month in pet rent — disclosed up front, not hidden in fine print after you sign. The property is also actually walkable for a dog. Centre sits at 500 Bagby Avenue in a quiet residential pocket between Baylor's south campus and the Brazos River, with sidewalks throughout the neighborhood and the Brazos River Walk just 0.3 miles away. For longer outings, Cameron Park — 416 acres of trails along the Brazos and Bosque Rivers — is an 8-minute drive. Inside, the 2-bedroom, 2-bedroom townhouse, and 3-bedroom layouts give your pet real space to spread out, and the gated community keeps strangers from wandering through. If you want your dog or cat to live somewhere as good as Baylor, this is it.

Sound Familiar?

Strict pet policies or breed restrictions
Most apartments near Baylor either ban pets entirely or restrict large breeds, "aggressive" breed lists, or weight limits that exclude your German Shepherd, Pit mix, or Husky from even being considered.
Tiny apartments with nowhere for your dog to be
Studio and 1-bedroom units leave your pet pacing while you study. Without outdoor access, walkable sidewalks, or a nearby park, daily exercise becomes a chore — and your dog gets restless.
Hidden pet fees that blow your budget
Some complexes advertise 'pet-friendly' but tack on $400+ deposits, $50+ monthly pet rent, plus a second 'pet rent' per additional animal. By the time you sign, you've doubled your monthly cost.
No safe place to walk your pet
Even pet-friendly buildings near busy roads make daily walks stressful. You need sidewalks, a quiet neighborhood, and easy access to a real park — not a strip of grass next to a four-lane road.
