UNLV rentals with a pool in Las Vegas: what the listings include
In a desert city with long, hot summers, UNLV rentals with a pool in Las Vegas are an easy thing to want. The catch is that pool access varies a lot from one listing to the next, from a single community pool to several, so the description is where the real answers are. You can browse every current listing near campus and compare them yourself.
We picked out the live listings whose descriptions mention a pool and summarized what each one says. After that, you'll get a quick picture of how renting works around campus, what to ask about the pool itself, and a few practical tips before you commit.
Shared House is $1,450/month for a furnished private bedroom in a townhome, it's marked Available Now, and its description mentions access to two community pools and in-home laundry. Echo 1055 lease take over is $899/month for a furnished private bed and bath in a 4-person apartment, the complex has a pool and gym according to the description, and its timing reads August to July 2027. Furnished High Rise Condo Gated is $1,500/month for a furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo with a community pool and spa, and water, sewer and trash are included per its description. Near UNLV, Airport and Las Vegas STRIP is $2,200/month for a furnished 2-bedroom condo in a gated community with a community pool, offered on a 6-month lease with timing listed as 10/01/2026. Condo in Meridian is $1,650/month for a furnished 1-bedroom condo in a guard-gated community with 2 pools, and its timing reads April 2026.
Renting near campus in Las Vegas: what the market looks like
Las Vegas is a large, spread-out city in the Mojave Desert, and the area around campus is a mix of apartment complexes, gated condo communities, townhomes and single-family houses. Unlike a small college town, a lot of the housing here isn't built only around the school calendar, so you'll see everything from student lease takeovers to owner-listed condos on flexible terms. That variety is useful, but it means you need to read each listing closely.
Pools show up often in listings near campus, and in the ones above they come as a shared community amenity rather than a private one. The five listings above show that range. One mentions two community pools, one mentions 2 pools alongside tennis courts and a fitness center, and the others mention a single community pool, sometimes with a spa. Three of them are condos in gated communities, one is a townhome and one is an apartment in a larger complex.
Distance from campus also varies. Echo 1055 lease take over, Furnished High Rise Condo Gated, and Near UNLV, Airport and Las Vegas STRIP are listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus, while Shared House and Condo in Meridian are listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car. In a city this size, that's a real difference in your daily routine, so factor it in alongside rent.
Lease terms are worth a careful look, too. Echo 1055 lease take over is a 12-month lease being passed on, Near UNLV, Airport and Las Vegas STRIP is listed with a 6-month lease, and the Furnished High Rise Condo Gated description notes that its $1,500 rent is for a one year lease and that shorter terms cost more. Shared House is a year lease marked Available Now. Ask each lister what happens if you need to leave early.
It also helps to decide early what kind of setup you want. A private room in a shared townhome, a bed and bath in a four-person apartment, and a whole furnished condo are very different ways to live, even if each one comes with a pool. Think about how much privacy you need, whether you want to split costs with roommates, and how long you plan to stay, then narrow the list before you start booking viewings.
UNLV rentals with a pool in Las Vegas: questions to ask about the pool
When you compare UNLV rentals with a pool in Las Vegas, start with access. Ask the lister where the pool is in relation to the unit, what hours it's open, whether it's heated or open year-round, and whether you'll need a key, fob or wristband to get in. In a gated community, check how residents and guests get through the gate as well.
Then ask about cost. None of these five listings mention a separate pool or amenity fee, but some communities charge HOA-related or amenity fees that a tenant may be asked to cover. Ask directly whether anything is added to the monthly rent, and get it in writing. Utilities matter here too. The Furnished High Rise Condo Gated listing says water, sewer and trash are included, while the others don't spell out every utility, so ask what you'll be paying on top.
Guest rules are the next thing. Community pools often limit how many guests each resident can bring, and some require you to be present the whole time. If you like having friends over on hot afternoons, find out the rules before you sign rather than after.
Finally, look at the extras that come with the pool. The Condo in Meridian listing mentions 24-hour guard-gated security, tennis courts, a fitness center and a BBQ area, and says small pets under 25lbs are okay. Echo 1055 lease take over mentions a gym and common space. Shared House mentions a private courtyard and rear patio. If two places are close in price, those details can make the call easier.
One more point on timing. Shared House is the only one of these five marked Available Now. The others list their own dates, from April 2026 for Condo in Meridian to 10/01/2026 for Near UNLV, Airport and Las Vegas STRIP, so message each lister to confirm the place is still open and when you could actually move in.
Tips for renting a place with a pool near campus
Ask for the pool hours, season and guest policy in writing, and check whether access transfers to you on a lease takeover.
Confirm the full monthly cost, including any amenity, HOA-related or relet fee and which utilities are or aren't included.
Compare lease length carefully, since some listings here quote a lower rent for a full year and charge more for shorter terms.
Visit at the time of day you'd actually use the pool and check how busy it is, how well kept it looks and how far it is from the unit.
