The Gardens at Twin Hickory

At The Gardens at Twin Hickory we welcome dogs (no aggressive breeds please). However, for your dog to be happy in apartment life, it is important that they get enough exercise but not only that; they need the right kind of exercise.

If you have a smaller dog, do not assume that because they are small they get enough exercise running around your home. For a dog, your home is like a large cage. The key to keeping any dog in an apartment is providing enough exercise. Dogs are canine animals which retain the instinct to migrate. So, even small dogs need to be taken out for daily walks. High energy dogs can live in an apartment if the owner takes them out for long walks or jogs. Enough daily exercise is the key to keeping any dog stable and happy. But, be sure it is the right type of exercise. The right kind of exercise drains both the dogs physical and mental energy. Only providing excited exercise, such as playing with other dogs or tossing a ball, does not drain the dog’s mental energy. Dog park exercise is excited exercise and it is not recommended as the only source of exercise a dog receives. It keeps the dog in an excited state of mind.

Almost any dog can live in an apartment, if they get enough of the right kind of exercise. You have a wide range of non-aggressive breeds to choose from if you plan on jogging with your dog. However, your dog must learn how to heel on the jog so the dog is not worrying about being your leader and is instead relaxing as he is following you.

 If you plan to jog every day you could even get a higher energy dog even though you are in an apartment. But if you plan on only jogging 2 or 3 times a week and walking the dog the remaining days, you should go with a medium energy or lower energy dog.

Excluding aggressive breeds, the thing to remember is it’s not necessarily the breed you are looking for but the energy level of that particular dog. There are pups born within every litter that are higher energy then other pups within the same litter.

Compared to owning a home, living in an apartment home community is incredibly relaxing and easy. Why do the work yourself when you can rely on a dedicated property and maintenance staff if anything needs fixing? Not to mention, no lawn maintenance or pool care.
 
Believe it or not, you often get more for your money when renting in an apartment home community. Oftentimes you can rent an apartment for much less than the cost of buying a home, especially if you live in or near a larger city like Richmond, VA.
 
Getting a big tax break is one of the great advantages of owning a home. But, you can't always rely on getting that tax break. If your annual mortgage interest payment and your other deductions aren’t greater than your standard tax deductions, you will not receive any tax benefit from owning a house. However, if you rent an apartment, you will always receive some form of tax relief because a large portion of your rent is tax deductible every year.

Now, if you use part of your apartment home for business, you can also deduct expenses for the business use of your home. These expenses include your monthly rent, renters insurance, and utilities. A home office deduction is available for renters as well as homeowners.

There are two basic requirements for your apartment home to qualify as a deduction. The first requirement is “regular and exclusive use” which means you regularly use part of your apartment exclusively for business purposes. If so, you can take a home office deduction for the extra room or space you are using. Secondly, it must be your principal place of business.
