A view from the "no pool" side of this issue:
We lived in South Florida for many years prior to moving to The Villages. We had a pool which we ended up using only rarely, though the times we did use it we really appreciated it. When we moved here, I was convinced we needed a pool. My husband had another point of view, that we didn't need a pool given all of the various types of pools here. After 2 years without a pool, I have to agree that my husband was right. We save money by not having a pool, and apart from that I love my water aerobics classes at the sports pool and lounging poolside at the other pools when I need a poolside "fix". We did just purchase a 2 person spa which fits on our lanai, to soothe our aches and pains. It's a perfect combination!
