We had a pool in our rental, but the boys very rarely used it, we therefore didnt bother when we moved into our own place..........however we have got a fab 8 seater spa, and a bloody great big water feature to paddle our feet in!!!

Depending on the size of the pool, anything from $10K-$70K, but an average 8x4 would be about $20K.

My friends and I BBQ alot and its good to have a pool so the kids have something to do whilst the adults are drinking lol.
we also have aircon so can cool down in the hot months.
I would def say make sure you have one or the other for summer as it will really be a life saver.
