Now, to give you some starting Here are some of my Candidates for Uptown Dallas apartments Best POOLS! And, if you have different ideas, let me know!
Pool 1: L2 Uptown Apartments
This is an extremely large pool with lots of “fancy” all around. Love the round chairs and tables, and of course the fountains. There is a pool side to swim. And, then on the other side, there is a “lounge” side with simple water to occupy your eyes. Great spots for chatting.

Pool 2: Gables Uptown Trail
Gables really “gets it” on pools. They understand that Uptown Dallas residents like a great pool because a well designed pool means more social opportunities. The Gables Uptown Trail location in itself is great, because of the 1 minute walk to the Katy Trail and the Katy Trail Ice House and Company Cafe. Then, throw in this pool (only about 2 years old) and you have a winner here. It’s not really a swim pool, more of a lounging pool. But, plenty of seats and just a great design. Go run on the Trail, and then jump in the pool here!

Pool 3: Monaco on the Trail
This is the smallest of any of the pools in our post. But, it’s just so perfect in its design. And, the view is just amazing of the Katy Trail. Get out in this pool and you really feel de-stressed and relaxed with a perfect view.

Pool 4: Monterey by Windsor
Monterey by Windsor is located in the West Village Dallas area. This is a little bigger pool than the Monaco, but still not huge. But, this pool gets a lot of activity always. The main building of the Monterey is designed around the pool, so everyone passes by it all the time and it draws a great social scene.

Pool 5: Gables Villa Rosa

The Post Heights pool is MASSIVE! It’s not as enclosed as most of the other pools. Instead, it has plenty of open space outside the pool, including greenery and scenery. They also use it well…Post features a huge pool party each summer. And that’s what you are seeing below!
