Half Moon Bay, CA 81 Apartments for Rent with Pools

Hugging the northern California Coast, north of Santa Cruz and south of San Francisco, Half Moon Bay is one of the most desirable stretches of oceanfront community in the country. With a population just above 11,300 residents, Half Moon Bay is the best of small town life, tourist destination, and natural wonder, all rolled into one. Half Moon Bay began as grazing lands for Mission, San Francisco, in the 1770s. It continued in this agricultural tradition as part of the Ranch Corral de Tierra Mexican land grant in the 1830s. Fishing soon joined grazing as the basis of the local economy. Despite the arrival of limited railroad service in the early 20th century, this area stayed sleepy, taking advantage of heavy coastal fog to become a hot spot of rum running during Prohibition.

Finding apartments with a pool in Half Moon Bay 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 Half Moon Bay 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.
