More on Good Questions: NYC Apartment With Dog?
christina: In Brooklyn, two of many dog friendly communities are Fort Greene and Clinton Hill...(In Fort Greene, I felt out of the loop NOT having a dog!)
Here are some sites you may find helpful:
my favorite! they publish a calendar each year featuring local Fort Greene pups. one of the most beautiful sites is watching the dogs run free and play during off-leash hours.
Mark: we have a dog and a place up by prospect park. they have off leash dog hours where it seems every dog from the tri-state area comes to frolic in the park. It is dog heaven. If you are looking in Brooklyn, I'd highly recommend a place by the park.

djk: Think Brooklyn unless you can pay at least $2,000.
MJ: Prime brooklyn (ie. Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, Park Slope, Cobble Hill) Is no cheaper than Manhattan these days. Sorry
katrina: f you need to fly to nyc to check out places, i just saw today that jet blue is running a special on its new route between nyc and boston, $25 each way between jfk and logan!!
Prospect Heights has Brownstone apartments, but better rents than Park Slope and Fort Greene. Though not for long. But it is very close to Prospect Park, as well as the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and the Brooklyn Museum. Good luck in your search.
its not inexpensive but the upper west side is very dog friendly - with two very large parks, riverside and central parks. there are several fenced dog runs in riverside and off leash hours in central park, and dog friendly outdoor eateries too.
Windsor Terrace, right next to Park Slope, is definitely more reasonable in rents. i live right at the border of these 2 neighbourhoods, and i have to say, i love it! plus, i have a hound and prospect park is right here. oh, windsor terrace hugs the southwest of prospect park
