Ocean Springs, MS

23 Apartments for Rent with Pools

An artsy community on the Gulf Coast, Ocean Springs is well known for all kinds of festivals, art galleries, eccentric boutiques and ethnic restaurants that you would have trouble finding anywhere else in Mississippi. In 1699, it became the first permanent French Outpost in French Louisiana, and this history is commemorated yearly with re-enactments of the landing and a permanent replica of the original fort, Fort Maurapas. Alongside the art community, it has a well-developed fishing industry that provides fresh fish and other seafood to the area. The laid back culture and relatively well-off community has a large number of families who enjoy low crime, good schools and a quiet life. The lack of a nightlife, excitement and there being no large cities nearby are a problem for people who like the trendy side of life. See more

Finding apartments with a pool in Ocean Springs 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 Ocean Springs 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.
