WeAreLiving Dickson Apartments

WeAreLiving Dickson is a modern build-to-rent apartment community in the heart of Dickson, Canberra's inner north, and it runs as an openly pet-friendly building: dogs are welcome across the studio, one, two and three-bedroom floor plans, whether you are moving in or booking an apartment stay.

Dogs at WeAreLiving Dickson

Pets are welcomed as part of the community, and the building is set up for them: the Level 3 outdoor terrace runs the full length of the building and includes a designated dog area alongside the BBQ, fitness and cinema zones. Management notes that terms and conditions apply and some pets may carry specific restrictions, and the public information does not spell out weight limits, fees or which apartment types are excluded, so confirm your dog with the leasing team before you book.

The vibe

Expect spacious, contemporary apartments with a gym, resident events and city and district views from the upper levels, a short walk from Dickson's shops and the light rail. It suits travellers who want a self-contained apartment with a kitchen and a washing machine rather than a serviced hotel room, and the on-site dog terrace means you do not have to head downstairs at 11pm for a toileting run.

Close by with the dogs

Dickson's cafe strip is on the doorstep, starting with Cafe Stepping Stone Dickson. For a proper run, Inner North Dog Park at O'Connor is a few minutes away, and the Haig Park Dog Agility Course in Braddon makes a good stop on the way into the city. If Dickson is booked out, Founders Lane Apartments by Urban Rest is the similar apartment-style option in Braddon.

Max: Ask the leasing team for the pet terms in writing when you book. Build-to-rent pet policies are real but the fine print lives with the leasing office, not the listing page.

Getting there and parking

The building sits in central Dickson, walking distance to the Woolley Street dining strip and the Dickson light rail stop, about 10 minutes from Civic. Off-street parking is part of the apartment setup, which is easier than the street parking around the shops.

More Canberra bases are on the Dickson destination page, and the wider list is in the ACT pet friendly stays guide.
