Groton, CT

13 Apartments for Rent with Pools

What a whale of a tale. Groton is ideally situated midway between the major New England city hubs of Boston and New York. Tucked between the Mystic and Thames Rivers, Groton is home to a variety of industries and educational organizations, including medical supply manufacturing, a U.S. Naval Submarine Base, Electric Boat, the Global Research and Development campus of Pfizer, Inc., the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and The University of Connecticut Marine Sciences Center at Avery Point. When lamps were lit by whale oil and the whaling industry was in its heyday, Groton was an international whaling center. Since the whaling industry is frowned upon, it is now extinct in Groton. In its place are the shopping and tourism industries. If whales are your thing, there are still plenty of stuffed ones to choose from. See more

Finding apartments with a pool in Groton 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 Groton 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.
