One-bedroom apartments in Philly with access to impressive pools

When the apartment search service VeryApt published its renter ratings for buildings throughout Philadelphia, we were particularly interested in the pool rankings. Warmer weather calls for a splashy escape, whether to the ocean, a lake — or the roof. We wondered what an apartment with a pool would run you this summer. If these three are any indication, the answer is: a pretty penny.
