Pool Superlatives

Every buyer has a checklist of “must haves” and “nice to haves” when searching for their new condo.  While a pool often ends up on the “nice to have” list, every year there are New England summer days where it certainly feels much more like a “must have” amenity.  

Luckily, with the new construction building boom, buyers have more options than ever when seeking a residence with a pool.  This month, we have curated a collection of condos with pool access and hope you’ll read on for the Burbs to Boston Pool Superlatives. 

Find out our picks for: Best Pool with a View, Best Ground Level Pool, Best Pool Party, and more...

Echelon Seaport

Although still under construction, we are confident that at least one of the three pools at Echelon in Boston’s Seaport District will be the place to be for a lively scene. Whether at the Grand Pool Deck or Waterfall Pool Deck, if you aren’t a resident of the building you’ll want to make friends with someone who is for a coveted invite!
