9 Apartments for Rent with Pools

Around here, the average apartment rental is surrounded by scenic creeks and greenbelt trails, open parks, golf courses, ice cream parlors and pizza places. Shopaholics are in luck as well, with plenty of little shopping centers where you can spend until you get dizzy. And, if you need a little nightlife every once in a while, then check out the Isle of Capri Casino or the Quad Cities Waterfront Convention Center. There's plenty to do around here, but there's not necessarily plenty to rent.

With just a handful of apartments for rent around the city, and a couple of retirement communities, the rental properties in Bettendorf are fairly limited. However, the variety is nice. There are inexpensive apartments for rent, mostly in the north side of town. There are high-dollar rentals around the golf courses. And, there are some student-oriented apartments around the Scott Community College. Typical rental rates range from $600 to $1,300 a month, though you can find even more expensive rentals in lavish retirement communities. Remember to factor the security deposit into your rental costs, which, around here, typically costs about the same amount as one month's rent.

In need of some amenities? Well, Bettendorf’s got those, too. Apartments here have the typical amenities, such as parking, a laundry room, pool, hot tub, workout room, and a clubhouse. There are also some unique extras, such as a TV lounge, tanning bed, media room, DVD library, leash-free pet park, and sometimes even a pet spa.

As you can see, with amenities such as pet parks and pet spas, Bettendorf is more than just a little pet friendly. And, if you are dog owner, you’ve just discovered one of the most dog friendly cities for a renter to live. Rental properties accept most pets, even large dog breeds.

When you look in each direction and see nothing but green parks, ice cream parlors, and scenic riverfront, you’ll quickly realize that this is a nice area.

Finding apartments with a pool in Bettendorf means cooling off from the summer heat, get-togethers, and more exercise. However, there are a few things to consider before signing your next lease.

Ask the property management how long the pool is open each year. Is it seasonal? Does the pool have a heat pump to make it practical to swim beyond summertime? You should also inquire about pool rules, capacity, and if unattended children are permitted. The size of the pool also matters. An oversized apartment complex with a tiny pool could mean crowded summers and frustrations when trying to take a quick dip.

Finding apartments with a pool in Bettendorf could also drive up your rent, but may be worth the trade-off. Assess the overall amenities of the property. Apartments with a pool may look fantastic on the outside, but inside the kitchen could need an upgrade or the bedrooms could prove smaller than you want.

Once you find the apartment of your dreams, enjoy an afternoon swim and get to know your new neighbors.
