When you live in the midwest few apartment amenities are more highly coveted than an indoor pool and hot tub like the one at One Lytle Place Apartments. This is thanks to the sizable skylight taking up nearly half the ceiling and the potted greenery lining the perimeter. A few tables and chairs in the area make it easy to bring a meal or snack down to the pool as well.
When you're not at the pool, make sure to explore the neighborhood. Living in the Central Business District, you get the best of both worlds. You may work hard here, but this is also the entertainment hub of the city, with theaters, outdoor venues, museums, lively sports bars and cocktail lounges.

The pool isn't the only water feature in this Cincinnati community, though. There's also an impressive fountain and gazebo nestled into the trees and flowers. A perfect meditative spot.

The wide expanse of space that encompasses the pool area at Aspire Kenwood has it all. The massive pool and hot tub sit front and center, while rows of lounge chairs line the sides.

Level with the surrounding treetops, the sundeck at One41 Wellington offers up a nice view. The impressive pool has a sunbathing shelf for those who like to soak up some sun while keeping their feet wet. Bright blue umbrellas set throughout the space give you the option to grab some shade when it's needed, too.
Putting the pool up high was intentional for One41 Wellington; the Mount Auburn neighborhood, where it's situated, has some of the best views in the city. A popular place to call home, it's close enough to the city center for easy access, but set far enough apart to provide a break from the bustle.
The Groton Lofts
