town of vienna, demand for pool?

[Anonymous]

For those who know TOV people and their desire to have access to pool (typically takes 10 years to be offered membership), do you think a pool would increase the value of the house?

Still deadly for kids for a 4 month user pool

I would not want a house with a pool but to each their own.

We were searching in Vienna and have 2 kids. Pools were always a negative.

However, if a house has a transferrable pool membership to one of the local clubs, that's a HUGE draw.

I lived in Vienna two blocks from a house where a kid drowned and the pool was filled in. So no.

No sorry OP most people do not want the liability of a pool or the work. It's a pain for less than four months per year worth of use.

4 months? You can get 5-6 months of use here. All of May-September plus some nice days in October; more if it's heated.

We open our pool in April and close in October. It's not that much work.

A house with a pool would be a definite NO for us. However, a house with a transferrable pool membership to a local clubs would be a YES.

A real estate agent told us recently that since COVID, pools are definitely an asset in the housing market.

I’d consider installing a pool only if I planned to stay in my Vienna house indefinitely and wouldn’t go to trouble and expense only to increase resale value.

agree. but you aren't getting anything materially extra for it

[Anonymous]

wonder how many responders are from Vienna or TOV...they are an interesting group of folks.

I live in Vienna. Just moved there from FCC where we were members of High Point (which we did have to wait 2 yrs to join). I feel you with the waitlist pool situation. But I'd never buy a house with a pool, even though we don't have kids. Too much of a PITA. We just walked past a friend's house today, a friend with a pool, and he has had a rough year (death of spouse) and hasn't filled his yet. Too much work.

This. If your membership to VW conveys, great. Pool in the yard, no thanks.
