Woodbury, NY

33 Apartments for Rent with Pools

Once acres of dairy country where masticating cows grazed, Woodbury evolved into a summer playground for industrialists such as Vanderbilt, Tinker, and Mellon in the early 1900s. While it's no longer a socialite hotspot and not in the running with The Hamptons, this town still attracts those seeking an upscale lifestyle. With a population roughly approaching 11,000, Woodbury is still growing even though many young professionals are choosing to move closer to the city. Why? According to Melanie Lefkowitz of the Wall Street Journal (4 / 26 / 13), Woodbury attracts people because it's such a great place and people are so friendly. In addition, the schools are tops. The shopping is haute couture. But mostly, many adults, like salmon, grew up here and choose to swim back when it's time to spawn their young. Finally, it's rural, close to the shore -- and not New Jersey. See more

Finding apartments with a pool in Woodbury 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 Woodbury 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.
