Pool or no pool?

We never had a house with a pool nor did we really look for one until our house in SC. We love the house and the neighborhood and the pool was just a bonus. After spending a year in the house and many get togethers with friends, we wouldn't own a house without one. We only had one year in the house before I was transfered to AZ. After 2 years in AZ without a pool, we just purchased our retirement house on the MS Gulf Coast and it does not have a pool, but we made sure we found a house with space to put one it and we will design and have our pool installed. We like to entertain and have friends/family over for get togethers so the cost/upkeep doesn't really matter to me as it is worth it for the memories and experiences.
