Sitting in an air-conditioned room brings sweet relief when it’s hot outside, but jumping into a pool significantly increases the cool-down fun factor. Here are five homes for sale in Portland that feature pools we can’t stop daydreaming about.

Remodeled Daylight Ranch home with Powell Butte views, 5 BD, 3 BA | $849,999 | Swimming doesn’t have to be a seasonal activity thanks to this property’s heated pool — but if you want to keep your hair dry, maybe wait to take a dip until after the rain stops.
