    So far everything has been great. The staff and office have been great; however, there is a train track that js almost on property that has trains running at random schedules. We were told that they run sparingly and only during the day…well, during our frist night, we learned otherwise.

    The staff has been amazing to work with since the day I inquired about the property. Alex was a dream and did everything she could to make my desire to live here a reality. The maintenance staff, mainly Joseph, is amazing, prompt, and skilled. I have been very happy with my choice to live here and am making a home here.

    Yes the apartments are very beautiful and I would like to know a little bit more about them and is there an application fee because I do not have dogs or cat so that's why I was going ahead but it's a quiet neighborhood I know some people that used to live there but didn't even got to stay and my brother used to live up off of hard road so I will give this excellent thought and I would just like to know when I can be able to check them out again

    I lived here at Springburne in the early nineties for 4 years then bought a home. I had to move due to health reasons, as I needed a one floor plan. I thought about checking with Sprinburne since I had liked living here and needed some time before I decided on what to purchase. I have lived here for three years now and I'm not sure that I want to leave. It is so convenient, livable, clean, quiet, and the staff is exceptional. I would highly recommend looking at Springburne of Polaris if you are looking for a nice place to live.

    We've been living here for several years, and truthfully it's been one of the best apartment experience we've ever had. It has a beautiful view of a quarry, a great beach and pool, and the office staff are exceptionally kind and willing to go out of their way to help the tenants. I'm so appreciative of everyone here and am very thankful we've had three wonderful years at Runaway Bay.

Renting a pet-friendly apartment in Columbus, OH

Your fuzzy little bird, your soft ball-of-fur kitten or your loyal service dog are quintessential to your happiness, yet your previous landlord failed to adjust their requirements to your feelings and needs. Finding rental properties suitable for your fluffy friends in Columbus, OH is indeed no easy task, as they might be considered little troublemakers. But hold on, fellow pet-parent, because we have you covered! Your pet can now share your nest, because RentCafe gives you the opportunity to search through 30 properties in Columbus, OH and find pet-friendly housing that suits your needs.

Columbus, OH pet-friendly apartments are sometimes not so friendly

One of the major problems encountered by pet-parents has to do with breed restrictions, given that many apartments are not pit bull friendly rentals or large breed dog friendly apartments. Some properties are being extra cautious about certain breeds, because they just don’t get it that your Sparky is more than a destructive tail-wagger. So, you ask yourself “how to rent with a pit bull”? Worrying about where to you can find apartments that allow pit bulls? Even though it looks like an impossible task, it is not. RentCafe has 30 no breed restriction apartments in Columbus, OH for as low as $468. Even though it is not easy to rent with a pit bull, your goofy best friend has nothing to worry about. In a 919 Sq.Ft. rental, your buddy won’t feel caged and cheerless, but happy like a toddler on Christmas morning. You can also contact property managers directly to see if their apartment is suitable for you and your pet.

Finding a home nearby is easier than you think. Check out our Apartments Near Me page and take your pick!
