Popularity of idea and wide variety of swimming pool facilities is shown in chart form
Here's how 23 builders use pools to boost sales
Paul Fifield
Social life in J. C. Nichols subdivisions centers around the club; dances and parties, as well as sports, encourage participation. Many prospects decided to buy homes in the subdivision after first seeing the poo! as guests of earlier residents.
Dick Kent
Variety of fun (swimming, sunning, sports) is offered by Dale Bellamah in Albuquerque. Poo! is oasis in desert surroundings. Large grass areas enable pool to accommodate above capacity crowds by providing space for non-swimmers.
