I know there are some past threads about this that you can find in searching; but for my two cents, we had a pool for years in Louisville; we don't have one here and don't ever plan to. I love the freedom from maintaining a pool but also the social aspect of going to the pools here, where we've met neighbors and made new friends. Plus, we love going to the priority pools, especially Orange Blossom and Hacienda Hills, which have more of a resort atmosphere. I can be at our nearby neighborhood pool in the same time it used to take me to walk down our deck stairs and get to the pool we had at our house. I don't think that if I had a pool in my home here I'd be as likely to go to these other pools. Overall I've found it much more fun to not have a pool at my home, and just enjoy the variety of pools we have here.
