In a city known for its lakes, skyline, and vibrant culture, finding an apartment with a resort-style rooftop pool deck is rare. But that’s exactly what makes Waterbury House a standout. Waterbury House sits near Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun) in the West Lake neighborhood and offers more than luxury living—it’s a summer destination in the heart of Minneapolis.
This luxury apartment community includes one of Minneapolis’s top rooftop spaces, with a heated pool, outdoor dining, and spots to relax or enjoy skyline views. Whether you’re planning a pool day with friends or just want a quiet morning escape, the rooftop pool deck at Waterbury delivers.
Elevated Living Starts at the Top
Waterbury House’s rooftop deck is more than just a place to cool off. It’s a thoughtfully designed space for everyday enjoyment. Picture yourself reading poolside, hosting an evening cocktail gathering, or lounging in a shaded cabana while enjoying Minneapolis’s iconic skyline.
Perched above the trees, the open-air rooftop feels like a peaceful retreat, while still being fully connected to the energy of the city below. From solo swims to social hours, it’s a favorite among residents.
Resort-Style Amenities, Right at Home
The rooftop pool deck includes:
- A heated pool with skyline views
- Spa-style loungers and shaded cabanas
- Ample seating for group hangouts or solo sunbathing
- Built-in grilling stations and outdoor dining areas
- Seamless access to the indoor Sky Lounge and open-concept kitchen area
Residents have full access to all rooftop amenities—no reservations or passes needed, just step outside and enjoy.
Designed for More Than Just Summer
Unlike most rooftop pool decks in the Northern Hemisphere that close in colder months, Waterbury House’s rooftop is designed for year-round enjoyment. Built-in fireplaces, overhead heaters, and ambient lighting make the rooftop feel warm and welcoming—even after sunset or during chilly evenings. The rooftop is a space that transitions beautifully from sunny summer afternoons to cozy fall nights.
It’s a place to spend golden hour in August, a cool September night with wine, or even a crisp fall morning with coffee. It’s more than a summer spot for residents; it’s a place they return to all year.
Rooftop Pool, Meet Lake-Adjacent Living
Just a short walk from Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun), the rooftop pool deck at Waterbury House offers the best of both worlds. You can enjoy sweeping urban views from above while you surround yourself with the natural calm of the nearby lake. Waterbury House blends lakeside serenity with the upscale experience of elevated outdoor living, right in the West Lake neighborhood.
The rooftop pool deck feels as private and peaceful as a boutique hotel, but you’re never far from the city’s energy. Just minutes away are Uptown’s shops and restaurants, scenic bike trails, and the Grand Rounds. It’s easy to stay active or explore the neighborhood whenever you choose.
