Homes with Pools for Sale in Orem, Utah
Orem sits in Utah County along the base of the Wasatch Range, and its summers run hot enough to make a backyard pool worth the investment — July and August regularly push into the 90s with weeks of stretch above 95. Unlike Southern Utah, where pools get used nearly year-round, Orem owners typically run theirs from Memorial Day through mid-September, so most listings pair the pool with a solid patio cover, deck, or pergola for shoulder-season use. Neighborhoods like Sharon Park, Aspen Meadows, and the areas off 800 North near the base of the mountain tend to have more of the larger lots that can accommodate an in-ground pool, while newer builds closer to University Parkway lean smaller and are more likely to show up with above-ground or plunge-pool setups.
Because lot sizes in Orem are generally tighter than in Provo's east bench or in newer Lehi subdivisions, an in-ground pool here often signals an older home built in the 1970s-90s on a quarter-acre or larger, sometimes already re-plastered or re-decked by the current owner. Expect a real premium over a comparable pool-less home, plus higher homeowners insurance and utility costs from heating and filtration. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market and how each pool, decking, and fencing setup compares.

Common questions
About homes with pools in Orem.
Is a pool worth it in Orem given the short swim season? ▾
Orem's swim season runs roughly mid-May through mid-September — about four solid months of usable weather, with shoulder weeks if the pool is heated. Most owners run a gas or electric heater to stretch use into early October. If you have kids, host family often, or want a backyard centerpiece, the math works; if you only swim a handful of times a year, a community pool at the Orem Fitness Center or SCERA is cheaper.
Are most pools in Orem in-ground or above-ground? ▾
The pools that show up on the MLS in Orem are almost all in-ground gunite or fiberglass, typically built into homes in neighborhoods like Northridge, Cascade, Sherwood Hills, and the foothills east of 800 East where lots are larger. Above-ground pools occasionally appear but rarely get marketed as a pool home since they're considered personal property.
What does a pool add to the price of an Orem home? ▾
Expect a premium of roughly $30,000 to $70,000 over a comparable home without one, depending on whether the pool is heated, has a cover, and is integrated into a finished backyard with decking and landscaping. Pools rarely return 100% of build cost on resale in Utah County, so most sellers price them as a lifestyle feature rather than a dollar-for-dollar add.
What should I check during inspection on an Orem pool home? ▾
Hire a dedicated pool inspector in addition to your general home inspector — they'll pressure-test the plumbing, check the pump and heater age, look at plaster or liner condition, and verify the equipment matches the pool's volume. In Orem, also ask about winterization history; pools that weren't blown out properly can have cracked lines from hard freezes.
Does Orem have any rules about pool fencing or permits? ▾
Orem City follows the International Residential Code, which requires a barrier at least 48 inches high around any pool deeper than 24 inches, with self-closing, self-latching gates. New pools require a building permit and inspections for the shell, bonding, and barrier. If you're buying a home with an older pool, confirm the fencing meets current code before closing.
How many pool homes are typically active in Orem at one time? ▾
Orem usually has a small handful — often somewhere between 3 and 15 active pool listings depending on the season, with inventory peaking in spring and early summer. Because the supply is thin, serious buyers often set up an instant MLS alert so they see new pool homes the day they hit the market.
