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.

8317 Peyton Randolph Drive – $505,000

Brick five-bed on Raintree golf course

We’re loving the expansive wood deck that looks over the pool and the sauna in the basement.

Neighborhood: Raintree
Realtor: Dan Jones at Carolina Real Estate Experts, The Dan Jones Group
Specs: 5 beds, 3 full & 1 half baths, 5,066 square feet

2508 E. 7th St. — $525,000

Updated 1935 bungalow

We’re loving this home’s old charm and character and new upgrades, like the gorgeous galley kitchen. The pool has fountains over one end, and the palm trees and a covered pergola create an entertaining oasis.

Neighborhood: Elizabeth
Realtor: Marcia Van Ginhoven at Redfin
Specs: 3 beds, 2 baths, 1,650 square feet

3403 High Ridge Road — $575,000

Spacious classic brick ranch

We’re loving that there are two pool options: one in the backyard and one for the neighborhood. The concrete deck has plenty of room for lounge chairs, and you could add a fire pit/lounge space.

Neighborhood: Providence Plantation
Realtor: Joye Baucom at Cottingham Chalk
Specs: 3 beds, 2 full & 1 half baths, 3,772 square feet

1245 Bellemeade Lane #92 — $599,900

Spacious classic brick ranch

We’re loving the backyard. Of course there’s a pool, but patio has tons of room for entertaining and lounging and the yard is fenced in for privacy. This house would be perfect for someone who wants to do some cosmetic improvements on an existing home.

Neighborhood: Bellemeade
Realtor: Terry Alfero at Allen Tate Realtors
Specs: 4 beds, 3 full & 1 half baths, 4,092 square feet

7912 Baltusrol Lane — $1,850,000

1245 Bellemeade Lane 1 — Allen Tate Realtors

Custom build on more than 2 acres

We’re loving the all of this home’s luxury (just look at the aerial shot) — you’ve got a gorgeous pool, pond, circular driveway and a huge double terrace outside and tons of designer finishes inside.

Neighborhood: Quail Hollow
Realtor: Valerie Mitchener at HM Properties

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

We’re loving how the hot tub spa flows into the heated saltwater pool and how private the backyard is. And the home gym and craft room are excellent uses for the third-floor bonus space.

Neighborhood: Morrocroft
Realtor: Laura Graper at RE/MAX Executive
Specs: 5 beds, 7 baths, 7,182 square feet

4842 Carmel Club Drive — $2,895,000

4022 Doves Roost Ct 1 — RE/MAX Executive

Resort-like private estate

We’re loving this home. The pool is indoors so you can use it all year long, and it has an in-home theater, an indoor basketball/squash court, sauna, mirrored home gym, multiple terraces and so much more — it’s a resort.
