Okay, I admit it I'm a total pool snob. Yeah, my pool is relatively small and not super deep, but I've never lived in a home with a pool all to myself and it makes me feel like a big-shot to have one. I'm obnoxious at parties and bore everyone within ear shot about how my salt water pool is vastly superior to any of those "chlorine jobs". And I promise you, you don't want to get me started on my solar panels. Even I know I'm "too much" when that conversation starts.
So it comes as a surprise to me when someone doesn't want/have a pool. I mean this is Florida, why don't you want to hang out by your pool every day and have cocktails like me? Well, the only thing I can think of is the hard work and expense that owning a pool means to the homeowner. And I'm not just talking about up keep. Expensive moving parts also break and every 7 to 10 years you need to resurface the pool which can be a big "too do".
Which leads me to community pools. My community has two of them. A lagoon pool for everyone's use and a lap pool strictly for exercise. Many people have fun at those pools and save themselves the hassle and expense of having a private pool at their own home. You just need to decide which lifestyle is best for you.
Me? I use the community pools and my own, because like I said, I'm kinda a big-shot.
