Murrieta Foreclosures Tops in Area Pool Homes

Published: Friday, June 12, 2009
Many Southwest Riverside County foreclosures come with the welcome splish splash of swimming pools and are highly sought after by smart buyers. But summer fun also brings extra concern around swimming pools and if you are shopping for one of the many beautiful Murrieta foreclosures, Temecula bank homes or Lake Elsinore foreclosures, here are some important points to consider:
Create Layers of Protection
Look for homes with fencing all the way around the pool, creating a complete enclosure. Make sure the fencing is non-climbable and at least 5 feet high. The gates into the enclosure should be self-closing, self-latching and open out, making it difficult for a small child to open on their own. Add door and window alarms as well for any exit leading to the pool area so if little ones wander into the area you know right away. Consider a pool cover that has been approved as a safety device, prohibiting kids and pets from accidently entering the water.
Learn CPR
Not just for pool owners, anyone can benefit from knowing this important life-saving rescue technique. The communities of Temecula, Lake Elsinore and Murrieta all offer this important training through their Community Services Departments.
Be Prepared
Know your neighborhood and if you're new in town, get to know your neighbors as quickly as possible. Are there any pools nearby? If so are they properly fenced or are they visible from the street? With the beautiful desert-like summers we enjoy here in the valley many of the Murrieta bank homes and Temecula foreclosures already come with swimming pools and it is not uncommon for some neighborhoods to have as many swimming pools as they do houses. Getting to know your neighbors and if there are any hidden dangers can help find your child quickly if they ever wander away from the house.
If you are having a pool party, assign someone to act as "lifeguard", making sure that each child is accounted for. Encourage adults to stay outside near the pool by serving cool refreshments and perhaps even hosting your entire event poolside! There are many beautiful outdoor entertainment areas among the many Southwest Riverside County foreclosures available. Why not look for one that meets all your outdoor needs and encourages socializing with your neighbors.
Finally, know your emergency numbers. In all of Riverside County the fastest way to reach the police or fire departments is by dialing 9-1-1 from a land-based phone (not a cell phone). This way dispatchers can zero in on your location quickly and can offer life saving directions over the phone.
