Lakeside, FL

105 Apartments for Rent with Pools

A short drive separates Lakeside from the states largest city of Jacksonville. Considered a suburb of the metropolis, it sits just west of the beautiful St. Johns River and encompasses around 17 square miles. This area of Clay County showcases wild Florida, with gator-filled lakes and plenty of flora and fauna to experience in the areas parks. The scenery is only missing Marlin Perkins chasing reptiles through the swamp in an airboat to complete the 1960s television show adventure. However, there are still modern big city conveniences in nearby St. Augustine and Jacksonville, offering a variety of job opportunities for those willing to commute. See more

Finding apartments with a pool in Lakeside 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 Lakeside 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.
