127 Apartments for Rent with Pools

What's there to be so glad about anyway? Well, Gladstone is a small town located just south of Portland, one of the quirkier cities in the U.S. It's basically a Portland suburb, but don't try to tell that to locals. Many take pride in Gladstone's history, and for good reason--Gladstone's roots grow back to the mid 1800's, with the earliest land grants handed out by President Lincoln himself. The City of Gladstone, which grew up right about where the Clackamas River joins the Willamette River (pronounced Will-AM-it), has a population of about 11,500 people, but it's surrounded by the 2.2 million people who live in the Portland Metro area, of which it is a part (get over it, Gladstone).

Finding apartments with a pool in Gladstone 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 Gladstone 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.
