Policies for living at Westerfield North Townhouses, Olathe KS

Pets are welcome!

Unlike many apartments, we are pet-friendly! We allow two pets per townhouse. There is a height limit on dogs of 24 inches at the point of shoulder (withers) and weight limit is based on maximum set by breed standard.
