Private Pool or Community Pool?
Many El Dorado Hills neighborhoods offer community pools through the HOA or the El Dorado Hills Community Services District, while many single-family homes, especially on larger lots in Serrano and the lake-view neighborhoods, have private pools and spas. If you want a pool without the upkeep, a neighborhood with a community pool can be a smart choice.
What to Check Before Buying a Pool Home
- Pool inspection: a general home inspection often covers the pool only briefly. A pool specialist can check the plaster, equipment, leaks and safety features.
- Equipment age: pumps, heaters and filters wear out. Ask how old they are and whether the pump is variable-speed.
- Safety: California requires specific drowning-prevention safety features when a pool home is sold or a pool is built. Your inspector can confirm what is in place.
- Operating costs: ask the sellers about monthly service, chemicals and electricity. Solar can offset some of the pump cost; see our guide to buying a home with solar.
- Insurance: let your insurance agent know about the pool, diving board or slide.
