    Any of you guys have a pool at your house? We are looking at a house to buy but it has a pool. Never really wanted a pool as we live next to the ocean and the maintenance, but the house is awesome so I'm willing to deal with it.

    Not cheap, but I think you can figure on annual maintenance to varying degrees and an increase in home insurance because of the pool.

    Not sure what that equates to in actual money. Haven't had a pool as an adult.

    Blessing and a curse. Enjoyed using the pool and having people over, HATED the maintenance.

    That's what I'm thinking. It would be fun with the kids and summer then just do basic upkeep during the winter (is it ever really winter in Santa Cruz?). Eventually we would remove it/cover it and set up a patio/lawn. We still would have a good size space by the pool for a small lawn and seating.

    It's a liability as far as the insurance company is concerned but hardly worth passing on a great house over. You can always remove it (used to be they could be filled in but no more :( ).

    I like them a lot. They did well in the sand, never had my st's in the sand. On he street, noise and handling are equal. With the at2's though acceleration is better.
