Wickenburg, AZ

6 Apartments for Rent with Pools

Back in 1866, Wickenburg was one of the three largest towns in the state of Arizona and became famous as the birthplace of the bola tie, the official neck wear of Arizona. Two votes were all it took to prevent Wickenburg from becoming the state capital at that time, but missing the state capital has kept Wickenburg with its Old West flair intact. The sun-baked desert hills surrounding town sprout with saguaro cacti, providing a picturesque backdrop for vacationers escaping winter snows. You probably won't be able to fry an egg on the sidewalk, as the town's 2,000 foot elevation makes it a bit cooler than the sizzling city of Phoenix 60 miles to its south. But dramatic summer thunderstorms bring the desert alive with the sweet smell of chaparral and exotic lightning shows. About 6,000 people call Wickenburg's 12 square miles home, averaging about 568 people per square mile. See more

Finding apartments with a pool in Wickenburg 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 Wickenburg 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.
