Rooftop pools in Chicago are quickly becoming a must-have feature for anyone searching downtown apartments. There’s no doubt rooftop pools offer a refreshing oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, and more and more apartment buildings are incorporating them into their amenities to attract potential tenants.

One of the main benefits of having a rooftop pool at your apartment building is the stunning view it provides. Imagine taking a dip while overlooking the Chicago skyline or watching the sunset from the comfort of your own pool. Simply put, it’s like having a private oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle. If you’re interested in Chicago apartments with a rooftop pool, here’s our shortlist of buildings you’ll want to consider during your search.

Onni Fulton Market

This Fulton River District neighborhood condo is the exact kind of thing you’d move to the city searching for.

369 Grand

The stunning 369 Grand apartment building is, in one word, grand.

An outdoor pool and hot tub are nestled between lush greenery, deck space, and lounge chairs on the roof. The city skyline is breathtaking during the day and even more stunning come night. For those times when you don’t feel like getting wet, elegant seating areas and fire pits provide the perfect place to kick back and breathe in some fresh air. Or host a barbecue! 369 Grand has several BBQ grill stations with large outdoor tables to accommodate groups small and large.
