Although not a mid-level home, you might look at a Sanibel premiere - it has a generous-sized open room that flows into the family room.

If you want your own pool table good luck. Otherwise there are several Rec Centers that have billiard/pool rooms with many tables and equipment. I have been in many of them and have never seen all the tables in use - more often than not, one or two. FWIW if you are, as you say, a beginner you might want to rethink buying a home to accommodate a full size table that may soon become a large conversation piece.

Thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to reply. You’ve given me a lot of great input to consider.
I agree that skills can be learned on a shorter table. I play on a 9 foot table at the local hall. What length are the tables in the rec centers? There may be a good reason I haven’t heard from anyone with a table in their house. It looks like the path forward should be to rent before purchase, with visits to rec centers to see the tables, their size, quality and usage and listen, listen, listen- then see houses with a tape measure in hand. Family obligations will keep me from realizing this plan for a while, but your replies feel like a warm welcome that I look forward to some day return. |
There are about 20 Village rec centers that each have about 6 pool tables. The tables are 9 foot regulation size, made by Olhausen or Proline. They are well built, but not as good a quality as most commercial pool halls would have. Many experienced players who are used to playing on a Brunswick Gold Crown will often complain about the tables. I don't think it would be a good idea to install a pool table in a rental house, but, if you buy a house, you can find one that will accommodate a 9 foot table, if you want. There are people who have pool tables in their house, but most players use the rec centers. Good luck.

Thanks retiredguy and everyone. I’m certainly open for more input, but I believe I now have a good starting point for this aspect of my discovery. The TOTV discussions are as fun as they are educational. This Detroit born Virginia resident can’t wait to experience the joys and challenges of TV and meet the fine people living there.

We were playing poker at one of the rec centers last night. The pool table room was completely empty. It had about 20 pool tables.

Retiredguy.. I overstated the number, but there sure seemed to be at least 10 at Big Cypress. Two rows of at least 5.
Still...none being used. |

Could be the perfect house
I went to an open house yesterday that may have the space you need. I know you aren’t ready to buy, but you might be interested. It is on Pamona lane, Hacienda East. Listed by the villages. They have added 2 extra sitting rooms so the entire lining room could be for your table. And the view of a lake is nice. Plus great location.
