It may be the coldest day of the year here in Fort Collins, but summer is just around the corner.
Last summer, I had buyers moving to Fort Collins from a warm climate in which most homes have swimming pools. They were a bit concerned about not having their own pool and wanted to make sure the Fort Collins neighborhood into which they moved would have a swimming pool. Since they were primarily interested in South Fort Collins, I put together this information about neighborhoods with swimming pools in the south part of town. Given that growth patterns have been toward the south, more new neighborhoods that build pools as part of the development are located on this end of town.
This is not an all inclusive list, but covers many of the swimming pool neighborhoods in Fort Collins.
