If you're interested in living in the established areas, then look for a resale that already has a pool. That would save a lot of work, however with the newer areas not having golf cart connection, championship golf courses and restaurants and shopping close at hand, has caused resales to escalate in price. Still having the pool and birdcage already established would make an easier move. Homes with pools, there are many. Everytime I play golf, the fairways are lined with pool homes, however I almost never see anyone in them.
