For many people, a home is not a home without a pet to share it with. Residents of Devon Communities are welcome to own and enjoy their pets.
For the benefit of everyone in the community, we have these few limitations regarding dogs and cats:
Residents may own one dog weighing no more than 25 pounds at maturity, or residents may own no more than two cats.
Residents must have proof of license, full up-to-date vet records, and must assign a pet trustee.
Excepting designated areas, all Devon Communities are smoke-free for the health, safety and comfort of our residents and their guests.
We are pleased to adopt this policy not only in response to changing laws but also in response to input from our residents who prefer a smoke-free living experience.
Those wishing to smoke should check with individual property managers to identify designated smoking areas.
Our residents who may have special needs are in good hands in Devon Communities.
In addition to offering handicap accessibility in every unit, there are designated units in many of our communities that are also equipped with and move-in ready for the visually, hearing or mobility impaired.
Beyond that, we maintain a strong working relationship with social service agencies, so we are able to respond and offer support for a variety of other needs residents might have.
We are committed to providing a quality living environment to all our residents, and we’re glad to go the extra mile to make sure we do.

Federal, State and Local Fair Housing and Anti-discrimination Laws protect individuals from housing discrimination. It is unlawful to discriminate based on certain protected characteristics, which include, but are not limited to: race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military status, sex, age, disability, marital status, lawful source of income or familial status.
The New York State Human Rights Law requires housing providers to make reasonable accommodations or modifications to a building or living space to meet the needs of people with disabilities. For example, if you have a physical, mental, or medical impairment, you can ask your housing provider to make the common areas of your building accessible, or to change certain policies to meet your needs.
