156 Apartments for Rent with Pools

Wimauma, Florida (pronounced Why-MAUGH-muh) is an unincorporated area in western Florida about a 30 minute drive, or an eight hour walk, from the southern end of Tampa. But don't walk it; it's too hot outside here. It could almost be considered a suburb of the Tampa/St. Petersburg area, although the population crush of those city's doesn't quite extend as far as Wimauma. This is a rural community that is primarily residential, meaning you're not going to find a lot to do entertainment-wise within the boundaries of the town, and it's not located along a major highway or interstate. The Church of God Campground, a retreat center, is the closest thing Wimauma has to a community center. See more

Finding apartments with a pool in Wimauma 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 Wimauma 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.
