I am in my 2nd house in TV. I have had a pool in both. After 7 years, no regrets. T & D maintains for what I think is very reasonable. We are in it almost daily

We've had our pool since 2015. I have never had a pool before, and I can tell you I could not imagine NOT having one now. I know I'm spoiled. I was concerned about the cost of power and upkeep, and was pleasantly surprised how inexpensive it is, especially given the pump we have, which is variable speed. I chose to do the maintenance myself, which involves a weekly trip to the T&D store, for a free water analysis.
We love our pool, and use it daily. |

We LOVE our pool...........have an automatic cleaner and hubby takes the sample down to Colony Plaza for testing, easy enough. So pleased we made the decision to get. Even when we do not use it due to weather or whatever, beautiful to just sit around and relax.

Also in your own pool you can be confident there will be no "p" (unless you or a guest put it in there) as there is no "p" in Lake Sumter.

We love our 16x32 pool. It's heated by solar so when the pool is 85-89 we are in it.
No regrets and T&D maintains it so nothing but fun. Even though we leave for the summer we would still do a pool. |

It costs us $100 per month for a man to come every week. He cleans the pool and adjusts the chemicals. I don't know if the price is competitive but the company was one that the previous owners used so we just continued with them.

I've lived here for a year and a half. I frequently take my cart for everything, no matter how far. In all my journeys up and down Morse, Odell, Bailey, 466, Stillwater, etc. I have NEVER seen a person in their pool.
We looked into putting in a pool: $50-60k! So if you want one, I'd buy a house with one. I doubt a pool would pay for itself at sale time. The pools in TV rec centers are well maintained and heated in winter. Good enough for me! |

I had an above ground pool up north. Never again would I own another one. They are expensive to maintain. I suggest you use the pools in The Villages. They are a great place for socializing and meeting new people. You won't get that if you have your own pool. My two cents.

My brother has a pool in Orlando. Every ten years they have to have the walls redone. This time will cost him around $9,000. Once you get one small crack either in the pool or on the deck its down hill from there.

We use our pool everyday. We find getting home from a warm morning of tennis or pickleball is the perfect time to just jump in the pool, without changing to swimsuits and wandering down to the neighborhood pool. It's great for rehab after getting those injuries one does from playing lots of sports. It's relaxing to read and float in the afternoons. (In your own pool you can use whatever kind of floating device you want...). If you are living here through the warm months I find it a great plus.
