The Arthur is a pet-friendly luxury apartment community at 21 Washington Avenue in Carteret, NJ. Dogs and cats are welcome here, and residents have access to a dedicated, secure dog run right on the property. Breed restrictions do apply, so contact our leasing team at (833) 692-3631 for the full pet policy before you apply.
Why Pet Owners Choose The Arthur
Most apartment communities in Carteret allow pets on paper but offer nothing for them in practice. The Arthur is different. Your dog gets a fenced, secure dog run built specifically for off-leash play — no shared park crowds, no chasing your pup across an open field.
Beyond the dog run, the building itself is designed with pet owners in mind. Every home includes an in-unit washer and dryer, which means pet hair on blankets and muddy paw prints on towels get handled immediately. The modern flooring throughout each unit is durable and easy to clean, perfect for the occasional accident or post-walk mess.
What Is The Arthur's Pet Policy?
The Arthur welcomes both dogs and cats. Breed restrictions apply to certain dog breeds, which is standard for luxury apartment communities in Middlesex County. For specific details on approved breeds, weight limits, pet deposits, and monthly pet rent, contact the leasing office directly at (833) 692-3631 or schedule a tour.
We recommend reaching out early in your apartment search so there are no surprises.
