Kingston was designated a "Green Community" in 2010 in recognition for the town's renewable energy programs. It was one of the first communities to receive this distinction from the Federal Department of Energy Resources.
Kingston, Massachusetts is a small town on the southeast coast of Massachusetts, located in Plymouth County. The town center is home to about 5,600 people but the larger town itself has about 12,600 people as of the 2010 census. The whole town is about eighteen and a half square miles of land. Located just 35 miles south of Boston, this is one of the oldest settled communities in the country. Though the town was incorporated in 1726, before that it was simply known as the North Precinct of the Plymouth Colony. The Wampanoag Indians held this land before the Mayflower arrived and several Native American burials sites have been uncovered in the town of Kingston. Once settled by the colonists, Kingston went on to become a colonial boat-building center, building ships for the American Revolutionary War. In fact, the USS Independence was built right in Kingston on the Jones River. You'll see references to the ship throughout the town. Kingston is still home to the longest continuously operating boat yard in North America at Jones River Landing. In modern times, Kingston has become a residential community and suburb of Boston. However, there are still a few professional fishermen around and the area also boasts some agriculture, mostly in the form of cranberry bogs, so get your fishing poles ready! See more
Finding apartments with a pool in Kingston 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 Kingston 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.
