Inground, Infinity & Plunge Pool Costs in Austin (2025 Price Guide)
| Pool Type | Typical Cost Range (USD) | Notes / Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Inground Pool (standard) | ~ $50,000 – $120,000 (some going above $200,000 for high-end) | For a basic pool in Austin; final costs depend greatly on size, materials, finishes & extras. |
| Inground Pool — smaller/basic (lower end) | ~ $35,000 – $55,000 | Lower-cost materials (e.g. vinyl liner), smaller pool size, minimal extras. |
| Plunge Pool (in-ground or small compact pool) | ~$20,000 – $35,000 (some sources: $10,000–$40,000) | Suitable for small yards / limited space; less water volume and fewer structural demands. |
| Infinity Pool (in-ground, “vanishing edge”) | ~$65,000 – $150,000 typical; many around $95,000; lower-end from about $55,000, luxury custom projects well above that. | More expensive due to special edge design, extra structure (catch basin), and often higher-end finishes/landscaping.

Additional Observations & Considerations
For a standard inground pool in Austin, most homeowner projects end up in the $75,000–$120,000 range when factoring in typical size and moderate finishes.
High-end inground pools (with custom shape, landscaping, decking, extras) may exceed $200,000.
A plunge pool is often the most budget-friendly option for smaller backyards, though you get “pool-lite” size and amenities.
Infinity pools add cost — often 20–50% more than a comparable standard pool — due to design complexity, extra structural work, and often premium finishes.
