This cluster of rad residential pools makes me wish that I could live in any of the homes featured here. Now these are not your ordinary backyard swimming holes. These residential pools were built to accentuate some of the most well-designed homes on the planet, so you know they've gotta be good.
A hot theme we've seen is placing pools or bodies of water right at the front of your palatial home. With an emphasis on design, these residential pools are definitely the coolest ways to cool off.
