yes, generally developer will sell pool view at higher pricing.
of cos for own stay it is up to personal preference.
Personally, If u have a pool facing view, it makes u feel u are in a condo unit. Nowadays, a lot of HDB units are done up as nice if not nicer than a condo.Originally Posted by radha08
I agree on the noise especially on weekends but it's not all the time.
It is kinda cool having the blue of the pool outside ur windows.
Just my 2 cents.
Pool view better than no views...
Of course face pool units are priced higher as they are in higher demand. Whether u want it or not are secondary.
Those older condos with deep deep pools are much quieter because kids can't play in them.Originally Posted by Spunk
Civilizations are usually located near water sources because humans need plenty of water for survival and economic reasons. Our brain is wired to feel more peaceful when we see or hear gently flowing water nearby. People (including me) will naturally pay more for water view, provided there are no noisy kids screaming or shouting in the pool.
Water view with kids screaming and shouting during the weekend can be very annoying when u need a good rest at the end of the week.Of course pool view is better than no view.Originally Posted by hyenergix
there r usually diff pools within the condo. aim for lap pools - fr my exp they r much quieter compared to family pools or fun pools.
It really depends on the configuration of the development and orientation. Unblock sea view can be better than a pool view. Pool view with units opposite you may not be a good view.Originally Posted by radha08
Pool view with kids pool beside or in front, just close the windows. If unbearable, just play some soft music.
Always better than expressway or road noise.
Lap pool can be noisy also when young adults play with one another inside. Some were seen eating fish balls there especially by tenants. Oh, some maids do have their share of fun there together and u know what to expect.
Agree, pool view better than no view especially at night but high floor units pool view becomes pond viewOriginally Posted by Spunk
Kids appear between 5~7pm when the sun is not blazing. Still bearable compared to expressway & train noise.
If you live in the sail, nobody wants to face the ugly pool when they can face the bay or the sea. If no better alternative views outside, the pool view will be better. developer for hillington green built all units to be inward facing to enjoy the pool view coz there are no nice exterior views to talk about for that katek development

So it is.....
Sea view better than pool view
Pool view better than no view
No view better than rubbish bin view
Wahaha.....
any view better than neighbour viewOriginally Posted by kingkong1984
Pool view is an advantage only for exclusive condos where there are limited number of units in the estate and unlikely to have many kids playing in the pool at any time. So won't be noisy at all as suggested. Pool view got advantage in that can check whether pool occupied or not before going down for a quiet and exclusive swim with no other users (again, possible only for exclusive condos). Also, for city-located condo, pool view is more relaxing, cooling, and ensure that your facing will not be blocked by a neighbouring new condo estate built in the future (e.g. from enbloc and become even taller). I will choose pool view any time and pay a premium for it if given the choice (the other choice is high floor, no west sun).

For mid floor: Sea/lake view, hill view, pool view
For low floor: Pool view, green view.
Daft, Dafter, Dafterest!!!!
neighbour view still better than highway, rubbish bin, main entrance viewOriginally Posted by Komo
city view is the best....marina bay view...
Agree that city view/marina bay view are the best. I found that usually the "sea view" is "decorated" by many containers anchored in the middle of the seaOriginally Posted by Lovelle
fr near or far, side, center, , city view is the bestOriginally Posted by SpinCity
For those living in the East, city view also means setting sun view.Originally Posted by Lovelle
agreed... facing lap pool is very soothing with nice night viewOriginally Posted by gav108
Not if your neighbours happen to be two shapely angmohs who like to wear bikini (or is it underwear?) to sleep. Too bad... that unit is 3 storeys above the pool and you have to be sitting at the pool's bench to enjoy the view at night.. *droool*Originally Posted by Komo
If you can see your neighbour, that means your neighbour can see you too.Originally Posted by Lovelle
pool view often accompanied by so-called neighbour view as many condos have units facing inwards toward the pool. unless they are tower blocks n there are wide gaps between the blocks to afford u nice views.Originally Posted by howgozit
btw u can put sun-reflective films on your windows so that u can look out n others can't look in (unless they are less than 1m from ur window, i.e. floating in mid-air if u stay 2nd floor n up)
I find such films work in the reverse at night. It is reflective on the side where the light is brighter. At night, people can look into your apt but you cannot look out.Originally Posted by gav108
