My husband and I had no interest in a pool (we're just not "water" people) but the house we found with outdoor living space that we fell in love with has a pool. It's not huge but plenty big enough for us. Now that we've had it for the past year, I can honestly say I absolutely love it. Yes there are plenty of pools nearby but there is nothing like jumping in your own pool early in the morning then drinking coffee on the lanai. Or at dusk, after dinner. Is is so convenient. If we ever move (unlikely) I would definitely look for a pool.
It costs us $100 per month for a man to come every week. He cleans the pool and adjusts the chemicals. I don't know if the price is competitive but the company was one that the previous owners used so we just continued with them.
