Tennis Court Costs

Imagine how great it would be to have your own tennis court. It could be a fantastic way to get some more exercise and to add value to your property. A tennis court installation could be a great option for those residential owners who have the space available, as well as for apartment complexes and similar properties. Of course, you will want to make sure that you understand the basics of just how much it is likely to cost to install a tennis court.

Because there are so many variables with the type of surface that you are using, along with the location and the size of the tennis court, the costs are naturally going to vary. The current average for the cost of building a basic tennis court is generally going to be between $25,000 and $50,000. For those who want to have a high-end court, the cost is naturally going to be higher – between $100,000 and $200,000.
