Are you looking to rent a New York City apartment with a pool so you can keep cool this summer? You have plenty of options right now—if you’re willing to pay a premium for new development. 

That’s because many new buildings in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens have this coveted outdoor amenity, but rents are always higher in buildings with luxe amenities. You will however benefit from one perk: Several of these buildings will pay the broker fee as a concession, saving you a month’s rent.

And you can get more than just a pool surrounded by a concrete deck: Many of these buildings have waterfront views, poolside lounges, cabanas, roof decks, and barbecue grills. Some buildings even have both indoor and outdoor pools. You can find these sorts of amenities at buildings like ARC in Long Island City, Gateway Plaza in Battery City Park, and One South First in Williamsburg.

So if you’re looking for an apartment in a building with a pool, check out these five rental listings in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Roosevelt Island, Hunters Point, Williamsburg, and Battery Park City.
