The pool scene is highly competitive in Charlotte, from six-year waiting lists with private clubs to apartments where you have to claim a chair by 10 a.m.
The only way out (assuming you care about having a place to take a dip and sunbathe) is to have your own pool, so here are six homes on the market with pools in the backyard starting at half a million.

2508 E. 7th St. — $525,000

- Specs: 3 beds, 2 full & 1 half baths, 3,772 square feet
1245 Bellemeade Lane #92 — $599,900

- Specs: 6 beds, 7 full & 2 half baths, 8,488 square feet
4022 Doves Roost Court — $1,850,000
Brick colonial on private lush lot

- Specs: 5 beds, 7 baths, 7,182 square feet
4842 Carmel Club Drive — $2,895,000

- Realtor: Dee Reid at Ivester Jackson Distinctive Properties
- Specs: 6 beds, 8 baths, 12,843 square feet
