The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Melrose

North Melrose

North Melrose is a pawesome neighborhood with a little bit of everything in terms of different housing styles. If you are traveling through or moving to Melrose, the north part of town is a great place to start your search for the perfect home or place to stay during your trip. Dog owners love the proximity to many public green spaces, such as Ell Pond, where you can explore and enjoy the sights and sounds with your dog on leash. While there are no off-leash areas nearby (except your own fenced-in yard, of course), your dog will be too busy making new furry friends to mind.

Central Melrose

Central Melrose is just as green and pretty as the north side of town. This neighborhood is mostly residential, with plenty of open green spaces in between housing developments where you can take your dog for a walk or a run whenever you desire. Bruegger’s Bagels is a pup-friendly, health conscious eatery that specializes in all things nutritious and delicious for you and your fluffy companion. Their dog-friendly seating is usually available weather permitting, so you can rest assured your dog will have a spot at the table with you. You will need your leash and plenty of clean-up bags for your visit to this local gem.

West Melrose

West Melrose is a lovely area with plenty of green spaces in between the housing developments where you can have a pupperific picnic with your dog. You will need a nice comfortable picnic blanket while you are here reading a book or playing a game of fetch with your favorite canine companion. Sheepfold is less than a ten-minute drive west from the neighborhood and is a popular location for dog owners looking for a lush green park to explore with their pups. Leashes are required in Sheepfold as there are no fences. You will want to keep waste bags, treats, and drinking water for the both of you in your bag.

East Melrose

East Melrose is a tail-waggin’ spot for dog owners to take their pups for scenic morning and afternoon walks after a long day at the office. Just don’t forget to carry waste bags with you as you traverse past the lush lawns and gardens tended by the residents of the area. Your dog will enjoy watching the small wildlife that dwell in the trees and bushes here as you enjoy the fresh air. Melrose Common is a popular shared green space in the neighborhood which can be found full of dogs with their owners on beautiful days. You will need a leash in the Common, but your dog won’t mind as long as you are right there with him.

South Melrose

South Melrose is a quiet little corner of town where residents enjoy a break from a lot of the traffic that travels through the rest of town. Your dog will enjoy the quiet atmosphere where he can hear the squirrels above him without a loud roaring of car engines found in the busier parts of town. Just make sure you keep your pup on leash here for his safety. You will also want to keep your clean-up bags handy, as almost every inch of grass along the sidewalks is a part of someone’s lawn. The community is welcoming of dog owners, as long as you and your dog promise not to throw any howling parties!
