Verona has had an Olympic-size community pool for 50 years, the result of having a Verona resident win gold in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. But that hasn’t kept families from installing their own, backyard-size pools over the years. We’re reminded of that because there are two single-family homes with pools among the 12 new listings this weekend and any Claridge condo listing has access to the outdoor pool in that complex.
There’s another story in this weekend’s 18 open houses: Four of them are for both Saturday and Sunday, and one is only Saturday. It used to be that open houses were a Sunday-only thing.
Here’s what’s happening this weekend in Verona real estate, from lowest priced to highest in each category:
