If you are looking for pet-friendly apartments near White Rock Lake, Live Oak at the Branch is a pet-friendly apartment community at 4670 Amesbury Dr, Dallas, TX 75206 that welcomes dogs and cats under the current pet policy. The community allows up to two pets per apartment home, with a non-refundable pet fee of $400 per pet and monthly pet rent of $30 per pet. Breed and weight restrictions may apply, so it is best to confirm the current policy with the leasing office before you apply.
White Rock Lake matters to pet owners because it is one of Dallas’s most useful everyday outdoor spaces, not just a weekend landmark. The lake and surrounding park are known for their multi-use trail, open green areas, shoreline views, picnic spots, and access to nearby destinations such as the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden on the southeast side of the lake. For dog owners, it is especially helpful to have a large public recreation area nearby for leashed walks, longer runs, and fresh-air routines outside the apartment community.
From Live Oak at the Branch, residents typically use nearby Dallas corridors such as Amesbury Drive, Lovers Lane, Skillman Street, Mockingbird Lane, Greenville Avenue, and US 75 for errands, commuting, and getting across the area. White Rock Lake sits to the east, and routes such as Mockingbird Lane and local east-west streets are commonly used to reach the lake area, depending on which trailhead, park entrance, or destination you have in mind. Because Dallas traffic and event activity around the lake can change the drive, I always suggest checking maps before heading out with a pet, especially on weekends or pleasant-weather evenings.
The on-site pet amenities are the biggest reason this community works well for many pet households. Live Oak at the Branch has a pet park and pet spa, which means quick outdoor breaks and rinse-offs do not always require loading your dog into the car. That can be especially useful after a muddy park visit, a warm-weather walk, or a regular weekday routine when you want pet care to be simple.
Inside the apartment homes, the practical features matter just as much as the pet amenities. Residents have high-speed internet access, washer and dryer hookups, air conditioning, heating, ceiling fans, window coverings, and kitchens with a dishwasher, disposal, microwave, and range. Hardwood floors and available yards are also listed among the apartment features, though you should ask the office which specific homes include the features that are most important for your pet and daily routine.
Published floor plans at Live Oak at the Branch include one- and two-bedroom apartment homes, with current listed layouts ranging from about 735 to 851 square feet for one-bedroom plans and about 1,160 to 1,249 square feet for two-bedroom plans. If you have a larger dog, two pets, a crate setup, or a work-from-home area, the extra separation in a two-bedroom layout may be worth considering. Current pricing, lease terms, deposits, and availability can change, so the leasing office is the best source for the latest options.
The broader community amenities are useful for residents who want more than a pet policy on paper. Live Oak at the Branch offers a wellness center with Technogym equipment, a resort-style pool with tanning areas, grilling stations, an outdoor entertainment space with a fire pit, a rooftop lounge, an entertainment lounge with Wi-Fi, a business center with PCs, 24/7 package lockers, an online portal for rent payments and service requests, and 24/7 emergency maintenance. Private one- and two-car garages and Spruce Concierge Service are listed as available in select cases, so ask the team what is currently offered and whether any added monthly cost applies.
The honest trade-off is that this is not a front-door-on-the-lake apartment community. If your priority is walking directly from your building onto the White Rock Lake trail every morning, you may prefer a property closer to the shoreline. If you want a pet-friendly Dallas apartment with on-site pet care amenities, access to everyday neighborhood roads, and a realistic route to White Rock Lake, contact the office or schedule a tour to see which floor plan fits you and your pet best.
