Dive into Summer
By Erica Rascón on Jul 2, 2013 in News
With the heat of summer fast approaching, the pool deck is becoming the hot spot for socializing and relaxation. Regardless of age or location, renters are sure to include a sparkling pool on their wish lists—but a wet hole simply won’t do. Millennials and Baby Boomers are being spoiled by pools that reach greater and greater heights of grandeur.
We have scoured the web to bring you a few of the world’s most impressive community pools.
Best Views

Extreme Heights
Why settle for a rooftop pool when you can have a pool that straddles two rooftops? Sky Habitat in Singapore consists of two towers joined by three unique tiers, including a sky-high pool. Condo owners can use the skywalk near the pool or either walkway along the structure’s two garden plazas to meet with neighbors in the adjoining building. The pool, which features an infinity edge, offers swimmers a stunning view of Singapore’s many distinctive skyscrapers and lush public parks.

Aquatic Nightclub
Avant in Dallas, TX serves as a social mecca for evening R&R. Renters are encouraged to select a seat in one of the poolside’s intimate lounge corners, or enjoy the lingering rays of the southern sun while unwinding on one of the pool’s shallower levels. Any seat is the best seat in the house when night falls; after dusk, the pool ignites with fun lights that keep the social atmosphere buzzing for hours.

Simply having a great pool is only part of a community’s success. How the pool is used–parties, events, exercise classes–determines if tenants and property owners are getting the most out of this refreshing amenity. What creative pool uses or events stand out in your mind?
