You also may find you do not get quite as much use out of it as you would have figured.
That was exactly our experience with our pool in CA. We were so excited the first year, but as the years past, our interest waned. However the maint expenses don't wane. I lived in that house for 7 years and I think we only used it for the first year. The last four years I lived there we had a cover on it 365.

The problem with having a pool is that since it is always there, it stops being something special.

And pool maint is not cheap nor effortless.
