These Cities Throw the Best Pool Parties
When we think of summer, the beach is often the first place that comes to mind. Lounging in the sun and taking a dip in the water to cool off is the perfect way for some to enjoy some weekend R + R, but sand, jellyfish and crowds of people aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. That’s where having a pool party with friends comes in as the perfect substitute. Some cities are more pool friendly than others though. Real estate site Redfin recently had their data scientists do some digging to come up with the best cities to throw a pool party in.
It’s not a shock that all 10 cities are from states with warmer climates. The researchers at Redfin looked at the percentage of the houses in each city that listed a pool on the property. They also factored in the median price for a home with a pool versus the median price of homes in the neighborhood in general. Cities ranked higher if there was a higher value placed on homes with pools, indicating that they’d be a better investment for a homeowner. Below is the final ranking of the best pool party cities in the USA. Are you ready to pack your bathing suit and move?
1. Palm Springs, CA
2. La Quinta, CA
3. Windermere, FL
4. Davenport, FL
5. Bonita Springs, FL
