Clemson, SC

5 Apartments for Rent with Pools

There are two prevailing schools of thought about Clemson: it's a very small town that offers those who live there little to do or it's a great home base for outdoor recreational opportunities that abound in the region. Indeed, Clemson is small. By the 2010 Census, the town's population was just less than 14,000. But that doesn't mean this town doesn't have a lot to offer, because it does -- really. It has gorgeous scenery, it's peaceful and it is close to areas that have a lot of activities. Clemson is bounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains on the north and Lake Hartwell on the west. To the east are Greenville and Anderson, larger towns which offer more varied shopping and dining opportunities. Two hours via Interstate 85 is metropolitan Atlanta with all the big-city delights you could want. In the foothills, you'll find plenty of places to explore waterfalls, hike, backpack or camp. A bit further north, there's snow skiing and tubing at various ski resorts. See more

Finding apartments with a pool in Clemson 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 Clemson 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.
