I would say it depends upon how much you think you might use a pool. Yes there are plenty of pools in TV to use but there are restrictions on hours and who can use them. With your own pool it becomes your pool, your rules.
We also had a pool up north and it did require a bit of work on our part. But it did not have a birdcage over it and thus the leaves etc were a pain. Here the salt chlorinator requires little time to take care of the pool. More time though is required in the summer due to the sun (readings every couple of weeks and maybe adding chemicals). Hiring someone else to take care of the pool may cost around $100 per month.
We spend about $65 per month to run the filter and maybe 1hr per month brushing the sides and vacuuming the pool.
