Mobile, AL Apartments with a Pool

In most cities an apartment pool is a nice-to-have you use six weekends a year. Mobile is not most cities: pool season on the Gulf Coast runs roughly April through October, and in the thick of an Alabama summer the pool is the amenity you'll actually use daily. 19 of the 26luxury communities we track have one — so the question isn't whetheryou can get a pool, it's which kind.

The standouts

Three communities go beyond the standard rectangle. The Estates at Lafayette Square has five pools spread across 44 acres — the most in Mobile. Charleston Apartment Homes keeps an Olympic-size pool for people who swim laps rather than lounge. And for the resort experience, the saltwater pools at Meridian at the Port and The Portier Midtown are the two newest and best-appointed in the area — The Portier pairs its pool with an outdoor kitchen, grilling station, and hammock garden.

What to check on the tour

Ask three questions: Is the pool heated or strictly seasonal? What are the actual hours (some close at dusk, some run to 10pm)? And is it saltwater or chlorine? None are deal-breakers, but they decide whether you get seven months of use or four.
