Downtown Minneapolis Condos With Pools (Indoor & Outdoor Options)

If having access to a pool is high on your condo wish list, downtown Minneapolis offers some excellent options — from glass-enclosed indoor lap pools to resort-style outdoor pool decks overlooking the Mississippi River.

Whether you’re looking for year-round swimming, a sunny summer hangout, or a value play with strong amenities, here’s a breakdown of downtown Minneapolis condos with pools, organized by indoor vs. outdoor.

Indoor Pool Condos (Swim Year-Round)

Grant Park – Elliot Park

Indoor Pool | Elliot Park | Strong Value

Located on the south end of downtown in Elliot Park, Grant Park offers one of the most usable indoor pool experiences in the city. The pool is encased in a beautiful glass window structure and sits directly adjacent to the fitness center — incredibly convenient for year-round workouts.

• Excellent skyline views from many units
• Medium price point relative to riverfront competition
• Developed by Bob Lux (same developer as The Carlyle)
• Strong value for full-amenity living

For buyers who want indoor swimming 365 days a year without paying top-tier riverfront pricing, Grant Park is a great balance.

The Falls & Pinnacle – St. Anthony Main

Indoor Pool | Late 1980s | Value Play

Located on the St. Anthony Main side of the river, The Falls & Pinnacle offers a more affordable entry point into river-adjacent living. There are numerous one-bedroom options here, making it attractive for first-time buyers or downsizers.

• Indoor lap pool used year-round
• Extensive rooftop decking
• Rooftop gardening area
• Fitness center
• Strong value pricing

This is one of the better value plays on the east side of the river.

LaRive – St. Anthony Main

Indoor Pool | Southern Exposure | River Views

LaRive has undergone thoughtful common-area refreshes over the years and has some of the best south-facing river views in the St. Anthony Main district.

• Indoor pool for year-round use
• Excellent southern exposure in many units
• Strong sense of community
• River-facing lifestyle

For buyers who prioritize views and indoor amenities, LaRive consistently performs well.

Outdoor Pool Condos (Resort-Style Living)

The Carlyle – Riverfront (3rd Avenue)

Outdoor Pool | Riverfront Luxury | Renovated

Also developed by Bob Lux, The Carlyle sits directly on the riverfront and feels like a step up in scale and luxury compared to Grant Park.

The pool deck is one of the best in the city:

• Lounge chairs & cabanas
• Grilling areas
• Gas fireplace seating
• Hot tub
• Fitness center just inside from the pool deck

Recent renovations have elevated the building, and as a taller spire, many units offer outstanding views.

Bridgewater, Stonebridge & The Legacy – Mill District (Gold Medal Park)

Outdoor Pools | Shamrock Development | Mill District

These three buildings were all developed by Shamrock and share a similar feel, positioned around Gold Medal Park.

• Outdoor pool decks adjacent to gym spaces
• Solid square footage layouts
• Great proximity to the Mill District
• Sometimes river or skyline views (unit dependent)

The Legacy is the largest with the most amenities, but Stonebridge and Bridgewater also offer a balanced value between space, location, and amenities.

Eleven – Riverfront Luxury

Outdoor Lap Pool | Newest | Top-of-the-Line Finishes

Eleven is the newest and most expensive riverfront condo building downtown — and it shows.

• Beautiful outdoor lap pool
• Splash pad for kids/grandkids
• Indoor pickleball court
• High-end fitness center
• New York–style luxury feel
• Top-tier finishes

Views vary depending on direction (river, freeway, or south toward the Mill District). This building attracts both full-time residents and snowbirds. Amenities here are truly unmatched.

Winslow House – St. Anthony Main

Outdoor Pool | Unique Setting

Winslow House has one of the most unique outdoor pool settings in the city. The pool extends into a lawn space sitting above the St. Anthony Main businesses.

• Excellent views of the Mill District & river
• Distinctive, open-air feel
• Sunny outdoor enjoyment

If sunshine and a more relaxed, lawn-style setting appeal to you, Winslow House stands out.

River Towers – Near North Loop

Outdoor Pool | Strong Value | Historic Downtown Presence

One of the first condo developments downtown, River Towers sits on a large parcel of land just steps from the North Loop.

• Large outdoor gated pool
• Expansive park-like grounds
• Value pricing compared to nearby buildings

Important notes:

• No balconies
• Parking is rented (often via waiting list)
• Outdoor lot available historically while waiting

This is a true value play in a premium location.

The Crossings – Skyway Connected

Outdoor Pool | Skyway Access | Urban Feel

The Crossings is the only building on this list connected to the skyway system.

• Recently redone pool decking
• Lobby refresh underway
• One-bedroom options under $200,000
• Very urban, central downtown setting

The elevated pool deck gives you outdoor space while still being in the heart of the commercial core.

RiverWest – Mill District / Downtown Core

Outdoor Pool | Entry-Level Pricing | Late 1980s

RiverWest offers a similar price point to The Falls & Pinnacle and is a favorite among buyers who want amenities at an approachable entry point.

• Outdoor pool
• Nice fitness center
• Large concentration of one-bedroom units
• Two-bedroom units typically on corners
• Views vary by floor (downtown, river, or neighboring structures)

Strong option for buyers seeking affordability with amenities.
