Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market
You’ve heard me say there’s a lot of downsides to having your own private pool in your back yard. The reason 99% of Johnson County Kansas homeowner’s will give for not wanting a pool is because they aren’t usable 8 or 9 months out of the year. Other concerns include they’re a money pit to maintain, they’re time-consuming, they’re a danger and liability… oh, and they’ll cost you thousands of dollars for your trouble. Want more? I’ve seen homes sell for less AFTER a pool was installed. This becomes less likely with upper bracket homes, but can still be true even then. You can read more about my thoughts on having a private pool in one of my older posts. So what’s the better option (in most cases)?
Johnson County KS Subdivision Pool
Fortunately, the answer doesn’t necessarily need to be for homeowners to head out to the city run pools. Those can be packed, an all-around hassle and dirty – well, ALL pools are dirty but you get the idea. In the past 20 years or so, community pools have been included as part of the amenity packages in many Johnson County Kansas subdivisions. Use of the pool typically falls under control of the homeowner’s association (the homeowners in the area) and the fees are almost always factored into a subdivision’s yearly HOA dues.
I have personally lived in 6 Johnson County Kansas home communities that had pools and have always had a good experience. The pools have always been clean (a pool company is paid to take care of the pools weekly) and usually the pools aren’t packed. There are exceptions, but generally I’ve always been able to get a chair to sit in and throw a football with my boys… something that can be much more difficult at a city pool.
