With the hot summer days this season, homes and condos with pools have been on the minds of many home seekers.  A detached home with a private pool is nice, but the maintenance can add up, plus the added risk to the homeowner.  A good pool cleaning company will charge around $65 to $85 per month for most private pool homes in Laguna Niguel, and if you keep your private pool heated, the monthly costs will be a good bit higher. 

A more practical solution it to buy a home or condo with an association pool.  The pool maintenance and upkeep is included in the association dues, and many association pools are heated for part of the season.  Also, the property management usually does a better job on keeping up with swimming pool safety codes then an individual homeowner would.

Another interesting fact about private pool homes is the the cost of the pool is never re-cooped..  In other words, if you buy a detached home and have a pool installed for say $70,000, and down the road you decide to sell, you would be lucky to get an additional $10,000 more for the home as compared to a similar home down the street with no swimming pool.  That is why I always tell my buyer clients, “if you want a home with a pool, buy a home with an existing private pool or an association pool, for you will save a lot of money.”   There are plenty of homes on the market that have either a private or an association pool.  for example, today there are 179 homes and condos on the market for sale in Laguna Niguel, and 123 of these listings either have a private pool, or an association pool… that’s 68%.

We compiled a list of all of the detached home and attached condo subdivisions in Laguna Niguel, CA. that include an association swimming pool, as follows:
