Why Bay Island

A community designed to make pet routines easier.

Moving with a pet is about more than finding a building that checks a box. You need practical indoor space, places to get outside, and clear information before you apply.

Bay Island combines a pet-friendly leasing policy with established lawns and an off-leash dog-park refresh planned for early fall 2026. The new layout is designed as a secure place for dogs to run, explore, and play close to home.

The experience

A better fit for life with a pet.

Green space outside your door

Low-rise buildings, landscaped grounds, and open lawns give everyday walks more variety than a single indoor corridor.

A renewed off-leash space

The planned dog-park refresh adds a secure lawn, leash-transition area, and four play and agility features close to home.

Layouts that support real routines

Compare studios through three-bedroom homes, including plans with walk-in closets, patios or balconies shown in plan artwork, and more flexible living space.
