Poolside Profits: Why a Resort-Style Backyard is More Than a Luxury

Your Backyard, Reimagined.

Close your eyes and picture this: your home feels like a resort. The kind of place you never want to leave. What was once just “the backyard” has transformed into your personal retreat—an open-air extension of your home designed for connection, relaxation, and everyday luxury.

That shift started during COVID, when we all began seeing home differently. Backyards became more than patches of grass—they became the heartbeat of the home. A space to unwind, host, and breathe. And that trend hasn’t faded; it’s evolved.

Industry data shows pool installations across the U.S. climbed over 15% during the pandemic, and even now, demand continues to rise. Why? Because people realized that investing in their outdoor space doesn’t just elevate property value—it transforms how they live. A beautifully designed backyard is both practical and deeply personal.

Think sleek infinity pools, covered patios with fans, full outdoor kitchens, and furniture that blends durability with sophistication. Your backyard becomes an experience—a place to gather with loved ones, entertain, or simply enjoy a quiet moment under Texas skies. Here, outdoor living isn’t seasonal. It’s a way of life. With the right setup, you can enjoy your pool almost year-round.

And if you’re wondering where to find homes that truly embrace that resort-style feel, here are a few standouts:

● 3510 Avignon Ct. – Royal Oaks Country Club

An entertainer’s dream. Complete with a luxurious pool and spa, basketball court, soccer greenspace, outdoor loggia with grill, and covered patio. Every corner is crafted for both style and fun.

● 9 Pinehill Lane – For Lease

Tucked along Buffalo Bayou, this home offers peaceful seclusion with a pool that feels like a private resort. Surrounded by lush greenery, it’s the perfect place to disconnect—without ever leaving the city.

● 9010 Memorial Drive

A Levant Luxury Homes masterpiece on over an acre. The backyard is a statement in itself—resort-style pool, expansive patio, and seamless flow for entertaining or solitude. This is elevated living.

● 2307 River Oaks Boulevard

When your backyard feels like a retreat, it becomes more than space—it becomes a lifestyle. A place to create memories, host moments, and find peace.

Your backyard escape is closer than you think—let’s find the one that feels like home.
