I've been a water enthusiast since birth—growing up as a competitive swimmer and later training with adult masters teams like the West Hollywood Swim Team, I live for the water. To this day, I joke that you could put me in an ADU, as long as the lot comes with an incredible pool. Pools aren't just a home feature—they're the essence of LA living, adding allure, drama, and undeniable value.
In Los Angeles, having a swimming pool can significantly enhance a property's value. It's estimated that a swimming pool can increase a home's value by approximately $95,000. Additionally, an inground pool can boost home value by 5% to 7% on average, with luxury pools adding 10% or more.
As we move into 2025, several pool design trends are gaining popularity in Southern California:
- Multi-Use Pool Spaces: Homeowners are creating versatile outdoor living areas that serve multiple functions, such as incorporating seating, dining, and entertainment zones around the pool.
- Eco-Friendly Designs: Sustainable materials and energy-efficient features are becoming standard, reflecting a growing environmental consciousness among homeowners.
- Instagram-Worthy Tile Designs: Trends like Moroccan zellige tiles and all-glass pools are making waves, offering both aesthetic appeal and durability.
