A pool right downstairs, children playing safely, green space without getting in the car: that is what many families, Moroccans abroad (MRE) and investors look for in Tangier today. Gated residences with a swimming pool have become one of the most sought-after products in the city, both to live in and to rent out.
In this guide we present the residences we know well, what sets them apart, and what to check before you reserve.
Why choose a gated residence with a pool?
- Security: controlled access, guards and often CCTV.
- Family life: pool, playgrounds and green areas a few steps from your apartment.
- Renting out: properties with a pool are easier to let to families and holidaymakers, especially in summer.
- Resale: a well-maintained residence holds its value over time.
The flip side: higher service charges. A pool, gardens and 24/7 security cost money. Always ask for the estimated service charges before you sign.

Questions to ask before you buy
- What are the estimated monthly service charges, and what do they cover?
- Is the pool open all year? Is it heated? Are there opening hours or rules?
- Who manages the residence after handover (professional managing agent or the owners)?
- Do the residence rules allow short-term letting?
- Will the facilities (pool, gardens) be delivered at the same time as your apartment?

Frequently asked questions
Which residence with a pool in Tangier is best for a family?
It depends on your budget and daily routine. Palmares and Waterloo 3 are very popular with families thanks to their facilities and location near schools and the centre. California Vista Hills targets the high-end segment.
Is a residence with a pool a good rental investment?
Yes, especially for letting to families and in summer. Include the higher service charges in your yield calculation, and check that the residence rules allow short-term rentals.
Are the service charges much higher?
They are higher than in a building without facilities, because the pool, gardens and security need to be maintained. The amount varies widely between residences: always ask for it in writing.
