The Best Pet-Friendly Living in Chicago

Why Pets Love 1000M

Living with Pets — Luxury + Convenience at 1000M

For many renters, pets are part of the family — and 1000M understands that. With spacious, modern apartments, easy access to nearby green spaces like Grant Park and the lakefront, and a neighborhood vibe that supports walking and outdoor life, 1000M offers one of the best pet-friendly living experiences in downtown Chicago.

What Makes 1000M Great for Pet Owners

  • Proximity to Parks & Waterfront — Just steps away from Grant Park and the lakefront trail: perfect for dog walks, casual strolls, and fresh-air breaks.
  • Walkable South Loop Neighborhood — Pet parents can access coffee shops, casual dining, and easy errands without driving — ideal for quick dog walks between appointments.
  • Spacious, Thoughtful Floorplans — Thanks to the design by Jahn and Kara Mann, apartments maximize light, airflow, and room — making day-to-day with a pet easier (and more comfortable) than cramped city living.

Tips for Pet Parents Looking to Rent at 1000M

  • Ask about pet-friendly units early — demand is high, and pet policies must be clarified with leasing.
  • Try a test walk around Grant Park or the lakefront during your build­ing tour, to check noise, traffic, and pet-friendly vibes.
  • Consider floor level — lower or mid floors offer easier access; higher floors provide better views but may mean more elevator rides.
  • Connect with other pet owners via resident groups — amenity lounges and social spaces make it easier to meet neighbors with pets.
