If you’re like me and your guilty pleasure is HGTV, you enjoy scrolling real estate listings just for the interest of seeing beautiful homes and daydreaming. What better time to let your mind drift into the clouds, or better yet, purchase a new home, than summertime!

Summer 2022 is so close I can almost smell the chlorine, smokey BBQ, and fresh air. We love using our time in the summer to plan trips to Lake Barkley and go camping. However, if I could bring the lake to my backyard, you bet I would do it in a heartbeat.

For now, I’ll settle for dreaming about the perfect summer homes I find on Zillow. Here are some that definitely sparked my imagination (and maybe a little jealousy). The status and price of these homes are subject to change at any time, so if you fall in love and are looking to purchase a home just in time for summer pool parties, hop to it!

Dreaming about lazy summer days spent by the pool or hosting cookouts on a patio with a view?  With summer 2022 right around the corner, here are the perfect homes for sale in the Evansville area with beautiful pools, patios, or backyards!
