"If Washington was the Noah of the Revolution, then Kitchel was the Ark." A quotation attributed to industrialist Abraham Kitchel, White Meadow Lake's first resident.
Since Kitchel's day, when White Meadow Lake, N.J., was the center of iron mining, the area has become almost entirely residential. There are plenty of larger rental houses as well as a few apartments for rent in the unincorporated community which lies centrally in Morris County, New Jersey. In 2010, the population stood at 8,836 in an area of about four square miles. The lake, from which the community is named, covers an area of about half a square mile and it is maintained by the White Meadow Lake Property Owners Association. This group looks after access to the lake and its beaches, as well as provides boat docks, a clubhouse and other facilities. In the winter, it is possible for residents to skate on the lake. Not everywhere you might search for a home for rent can offer that, right? White Meadow Lake is part of the Rockaway Township and Interstate 80 splits the two communities from one another, forming a manmade southern boundary. See more
Finding apartments with a pool in White Meadow Lake 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 White Meadow Lake 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.
