Create a home you and your dog can enjoy

A morning outing, a favorite resting spot, and an evening walk can make your apartment feel like home for both of you. Picture where your dog will relax while you work and how you like to spend outdoor time together. The leasing team can help you explore layouts and pet-friendly features that support your everyday routine.

At Exhibit On Superior, apartments range from about 448–1,528 sq ft, with studio, convertible, one-, two-, and three-bedroom options. Our leasing team can help you compare layouts against your dog’s everyday needs, but the right amount of indoor space depends on the individual pet and household routine. We also recommend confirming current pet requirements and procedures with the leasing office before applying.

  • Choose a floor plan with a practical place for a bed, food, water, and supplies.
  • Decide where leash, bags, towels, and cleanup items will live near the door.
  • Practice a consistent departure and return routine so elevator trips stay orderly.

Make elevator etiquette part of the walk

A relaxed elevator routine helps each walk start comfortably. Keep your dog close while waiting, allow other residents room to enter or exit, and use a secure leash during the ride. If your dog is still learning to be comfortable around people, carts, or other pets, wait for an elevator with more space when possible.

A calm arrival matters too. We recommend having bags and any needed supplies ready before leaving the apartment, so the trip through shared areas stays focused. It is also helpful to keep greetings brief unless everyone involved clearly welcomes them. These small choices can make daily elevator use more comfortable for neighbors and pets alike.

  • Keep the leash short enough for close control without pulling.
  • Give riders space at the elevator door and inside the cab.
  • Clean up promptly if an accident occurs in a shared area, and contact the leasing office for current building guidance.

Enjoy pet-friendly features close to home

Exhibit On Superior has a gated outdoor dog walk for convenient outings close to home. The dog spa and lounge provide an indoor place to clean up after a walk, helping you keep muddy paws out of your apartment. Indoor amenities are open 24/7; ask the leasing team to show you the pet spaces and explain current access procedures.

For a change of scenery, Ohio Place Dog Park at 360 W Ohio St is about 0.3 miles away, and Larrabee Dog Park at 652 N Larrabee St is about 0.5 miles away. These nearby options complement the on-site dog walk. Check each destination’s posted rules before visiting; the Chicago Park District dog-friendly-area guide explains requirements for Park District facilities, not Exhibit’s private spaces.

For errands on foot, Walk Score rates 165 W Superior St at 99/100 for Walk Score, 100/100 for Transit Score, and 86/100 for Bike Score. Those ratings can be useful context when planning a walking routine, although each pet owner should choose routes and timing that suit their dog.
