We moved to The Villages from the Orlando area. We had a pool at our previous house where we lived for 27 years. For the first 7 years, we used the pool several times each week, during the spring, summer and fall months. Then we started using it less and less. About year 10, the pool started to need some expensive updates. It needed to be resurfaced, the pump and related plumbing needed to be replaced. The deck around the pool deteriorated due to constant exposure to chlorine. It was starting to cost a lot for something that we rarely used. When we retired in 2016, our home search in The Villages included the requirement, make sure there is no pool. The novelty of having a house with a pool didn't last for us. We now enjoy our neighborhood pool on the occasion that we feel the urge to be near a pool.
