This basic apartment is really well maintained, and the wood flooring looks as though it's been recently updated. A big draw for anyone who has a school age child is that it's close to the highly rated schools in Petaluma, like Petaluma Junior High and Petaluma High. Click to see the living room...

Though I know this apartment has been staged for the photos, they've managed to make a 650 square foot apartment look chic. There's also the plus of pets being allowed, unfortunately, a lot of apartment buildings aren't so welcoming. The next place is one of them; scroll to take a look...

230 Edith St APT D, Petaluma - $1,995
2 beds, 1 bath. Animals allowed: No pets allowed.
Exterior. (Photo courtesy of Hildebrand Properties)
This looks impressive from this angle, but the offered apartment is the lower, 2 bedroom flat. This means that it will be easier to move stuff in (no stairs), but you'll have to hope that your neighbors don't tap dance. Click to see the kitchen...

There weren't many images included with this listing, and those that were could do with updating - but this picture of the kitchen does show off the granite countertops and the fact that this unit has been remodeled. Perhaps because of this upgrade, pets are not allowed. Scroll to see the next apartment...

233G Wilson St, Petaluma - $1,350/month
1 bed, 1 bath, 650 square feet. Animals allowed: Cats.
Exterior. (Photo courtesy of mahoneydavison.com)
This rental is half of a duplex, includes an inside laundry and allows for one cat (no dogs). While the listing states it also has new carpeting and linoleum, further remodeling wouldn't be a bad idea. Click to see what I mean...

The linoleum does look good. I'm not adverse to the knotty pine for the walls, either, but a bit of freshening up wouldn't hurt. There is a tradeoff with the inside laundry along with the fact that it also includes a private yard and the owner pays the garbage bill. Scroll to see the next apartment...

Bodega Ave, Petaluma - $1,950/month
1 bed, 1 bath. Animals allowed: No pets allowed.
Exterior. (Photo courtesy of Landlord)
This interesting rental threw me off for a moment because it's described as a house, looks like a duplex, and is listed as an apartment. Either way, it has a private yard, granite counters and new carpeting. Click to check out the kitchen....

A complete remodel makes a big difference. It's a small house (or duplex, or apartment), but this kitchen could make all the difference when someone comes by to check it out as a rental. Scroll to see another listing...

This duplex is the upstairs unit, so no worries about hearing neighbors tap dancing on your ceiling. Once again, there's a strict no-pets rule, along wth no smoking and...no waterbeds. Click to view the kitchen...

The linoleum here has a printed marble effect, which can work against the original intent of making the room look updated and clean. At first glance, it looked like the streaks left after mopping an especially dirty floor. Scroll to see a different apartment...

This duplex is a two story, with the kitchen and laundry downstairs, and two bedrooms upstairs - go ahead and take up tap dancing. You'll also have your own parking, click to see what it looks like...

Parking. (Photo courtesy of Alliance Property Management)
It's not a garage, but it's a covered carport, which is still better than parking on the street. Apartments under 2k/month are scarce in Petaluma right now, but there's one more on the list; scroll to see it...

Capri Creek Apartments, 1900 Sestri Ln, Petaluma - (one bedroom) $1883/month
1 Bed, 1 Bath, 519 Square feet. Animals allowed: Cats, small dogs, large dogs. Pet rent required/month.
Exterior. (Photo courtesy of Capri Creek Apartments)
At this apartment complex, there are currently four 1 bedroom apartments available, and pets are welcome. They do charge an extra $35 a month for 'pet rent', which more than likely ensures the renter takes care to clean up after their pet. This makes sure that new tenants who don't have pets, or aren't fond of them, won't find themselves renting an apartment that smells/looks like dogs or cats. Click to see what I mean...
