There has been a huge proliferation of private swimming pools on Nantucket, especially in the past 5 years. We were curious and set out to find out exactly how many there really are. According to the Nantucket Assessor’s Office, as of July 31 there are almost 800 pools on Nantucket. It is no surprise that the zoning district with the largest number of pools is LUG-3 (3 acre) zoning with 201 pools, followed by LUG-2 (2 acres) with 141 pools. There are 4 pools in the Commercial Neighborhood, or CN, zoning district, all of them hotel pools. And there is one pool in each of the following zoning districts: Moorlands Management District, CTEC and Residential Commercial.
