Sunset Hills, MO

112 Apartments for Rent with Pools

Sunset Hills is a city in St. Louis County, in the state of Missouri. Cityhood for Sunset Hills was granted in 1957 and its area continued to expand with community annexations made from 1994 to 1997. The largest addition is South Gravois and part of eastern Meramec River made up of 980 acres. Sunset Hills now covers a total area of 9.10 square miles. It is uncertain who gave the city its name, except that an old lady clamored for it in awe of the lovely sunset views from her bedroom window. But for all its many nature-inspired gifts, the city is more popular as the headquarters of Panera Bread, the highly successful chain of bakery-cafes operating 1,500 chains across 40 states in the US, with expansions in Canada.

Finding apartments with a pool in Sunset Hills 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 Sunset Hills 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.
