Life in Flagstaff moves with the seasons, from crisp fall game days to sunny afternoons before class. At Elara Flagstaff, the resort-style pool and sundeck create an outdoor space that feels elevated and functional year-round. Our apartments near NAU even feature a heated pool and outdoor deck space that bring added comfort and flexibility in every season.
What Poolside Amenities Are Available at Elara Flagstaff?
The pool area is designed for both relaxing afternoons and social weekends with friends.
Poolside features include:
- Heated resort-style swimming pool
- Expansive pool deck with structured lounge seating
- Cushioned sun loungers and shaded seating areas
- Large poolside jumbotron
The heated pool makes it possible to swim even when Flagstaff temperatures drop. Whether it is a quick dip after a workout or a weekend hangout with roommates, the water stays comfortable through cooler months.
You can claim a chair between classes, bring a book, or catch up on assignments in the fresh mountain air. When NAU football is on, the Jumbotron turns the pool deck into a built-in watch party. Game days bring Lumberjacks together in blue and gold to watch every play without leaving the community.
The Sundeck and Grill Area
Just beyond the pool, the sundeck expands the space into a functional outdoor living area. This is where students transition from swimming to studying, grilling, or simply enjoying the Flagstaff sunshine.
Sundeck features include:
- Elevated deck space with additional seating
- Dedicated grilling stations
- Casual dining areas near the grills
- Direct access to the pool area
The grilling station makes it easy to turn a regular weeknight into something social. Roommates can cook dinner together instead of heading out, or you can host a small dinner before a study session. The layout supports both casual meals and larger gatherings without feeling crowded.
Because the deck flows directly from the pool, it creates one connected outdoor environment rather than separate spaces. Students can move between swimming, eating, and relaxing without interruption when they live at Elara Flagstaff.
