Haute Homes: The Diverse Luxury Digs of America’s Priciest Neighborhoods

realtor.com

Think you know how the 1% lives? Blinged-out mansions with gold errythang, elaborate custom pool grotto, and maids and butlers scurrying down long, marble-tiled hallways? Sure, places like that exist, but the reality is, what’s considered the crème de la crème of real estate varies from state to state.

Recently, the realtor.com® data team crunched the numbers and pinpointed the most expensive ZIP codes in every state in America. Some were neighborhoods in big cities, some were entire towns in themselves. The list also took us on a fascinating tour of the best that each state in the nation has to offer: mansions set on rolling, emerald lawns in Greenwich, CT; historic brownstones in Boston; and picturesque horse farms in the suburbs of Louisville, KY.

We wanted to take a closer look at what’s on the market in those swanky areas, so we sifted through our listings. Whether you’re lucky enough to have deep pockets you can turn out to buy, or you just want to check out what luxury means in your state—and others—here are 12 homes for sale right now in America’s most expensive neighborhoods.

Some Great Travel Spots for the Holiday Season

(TNS)—Tie a bow around your travel plans. Here are five family-friendly ways to share the gift of travel with those you love.

1. Snow Lovers: For those who relish the white stuff, the gift of travel to Colorado ski country will be a high-altitude hit. At multiple resorts throughout the state, kids under various ages are offered the opportunity to ski free. For example, kids under 5 always ski free at Arapahoe, Aspen Snowmass and Loveland. Steamboat’s Kids Ski Free and Grandkids Ski Free programs enable children 12 and younger to ski free the same number of days as their parent/grandparent with the purchase of a five-or-more-day adult lift ticket. In Vail, family activities might center around Adventure Ridge, a mountaintop snow park reached by gondola with activities that include ski biking and tubing to a mini snowmobile course and a zipline. Adventure Ridge is open into the evening, providing a family-friendly add-on to the ski day. Other resorts offer lift ticket deals as well as lodging, lesson and gear discounts. Contact www.coloradoski.com.

2. National Park Lovers: In Williams, Ariz., board a historic train for a 65-mile scenic adventure across the Kaibab Plateau to the awe-inspiring South Rim of the Grand Canyon. In Georgia, bypass the crowds and head for the Cumberland Island National Seashore, the state’s largest and southernmost barrier island. Pristine beaches, mud flats, dune fields and salt marshes provide respite for shore birds, sea turtles, wild turkeys and wild horses. Kayak, fish and hike by day. Enjoy the bounty of stars visible from your family’s campsite. (No other lodging is available on the island.) Accessible only by float plane or boat, the Katmai National Park and Preserve on the Alaskan Peninsula near Kodiak Island, spans nearly 5 million acres. Families visit to observe the dense population of brown bears and to fish for trophy rainbow trout, salmon and Dolly Varden trout that run in Katmai’s streams and rivers. Contact thetrain.com.

3. Museum Lovers: Make a plan to visit our nation’s capital with your family and immerse yourselves in the depth and breadth of opportunity provided by the Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum, education and research complex. From art and history to the National Zoo and the Air and Space Museum, where kids can climb aboard an interactive flight simulator or take an exciting virtual trip on board a passenger ride, there is plenty to explore in Washington, D.C. At the National Museum of the American Indian, families can sample basketry or sit inside a full-size tipi to learn about Comanche life. Before your trip, consider a review of the online resources that inspire, prepare and educate. Contact www.si.edu.

4. Music Lovers: In Nashville, Tenn., home of the Grand Ole Opry and the best in country music, learn how a simple radio broadcast spawned a global entertainment phenomenon. From industry legends to the latest luminaries, you’ll get a taste of history along with a contemporary dose of the genre in the “home of American music.” Take in the Country Music Hall of Fame, Ryman Auditorium, the Bluebird Cafe and the Johnny Cash Museum. Ask about backstage passes, behind-the-scenes tours and family packages. Or, indulge your teen with tickets to see his or her favorite pop star on stage in Vegas. Avoid some of the bright lights by staying at the Four Seasons, a nongaming oasis. Contact www.opry.com.

5. Island Lovers: Pack your sandals and sunscreen and enjoy quality island time. In Hawaii, explore torch-lit paths, indigenous birds and flora and a world-famous luau at the Big Island’s Hilton Waikoloa Village. Dig in for toes-in-the-sand dining and hula dancing on Kauai, snorkel on Maui or surf and swim while relaxing on Oahu. In Costa Rica, wake to a chorus of tropical wildlife in the only lodge located inside the Arenal Volcano National Park. The majestic and perfectly shaped volcanic centerpiece, in a rich rainforest setting, can be observed from most guest rooms, the dining room and an expansive deck. Horseback riding, biking and hiking trails wind through old lava fields and soft jungle trails where howling monkeys, slithering snakes, butterflies and colorful birds beckon visitors. Contact www.gohawaii.com.

Haute Homes: The Diverse Luxury Digs of America’s Priciest Neighborhoods

realtor.com

Think you know how the 1% lives? Blinged-out mansions with gold errythang, elaborate custom pool grotto, and maids and butlers scurrying down long, marble-tiled hallways? Sure, places like that exist, but the reality is, what’s considered the crème de la crème of real estate varies from state to state.

Recently, the realtor.com® data team crunched the numbers and pinpointed the most expensive ZIP codes in every state in America. Some were neighborhoods in big cities, some were entire towns in themselves. The list also took us on a fascinating tour of the best that each state in the nation has to offer: mansions set on rolling, emerald lawns in Greenwich, CT; historic brownstones in Boston; and picturesque horse farms in the suburbs of Louisville, KY.

We wanted to take a closer look at what’s on the market in those swanky areas, so we sifted through our listings. Whether you’re lucky enough to have deep pockets you can turn out to buy, or you just want to check out what luxury means in your state—and others—here are 12 homes for sale right now in America’s most expensive neighborhoods.

California: 90210 67 Beverly Park Ct., Beverly Hills

Price: $165 million Palazzo perfection: This estate on 9 acres took seven years to build and, according to the listing, is one of the “finest estates ever offered in Beverly Hills.” Completed in 1998, the main house has 20 bedrooms, 16 baths, and five half-bathrooms, and measures over 20,000 square feet.

There’s also a 30-car courtyard, pool and pool house, two two-story guesthouses, a tennis court, and jogging trail that circles the entire property. If that’s not enough room for you and the fam, there’s another lot available to expand.

Delaware: 19807 10 Pyles Ford Rd., Greenville

This stately stone home was built in 2009 to take advantage of commanding views of what’s locally known as “Chateau Country.” It sits on nearly 9 fenced acres bordered by the Winterthur Museum’s 1,000 acres and conserved land, which means no noisy neighbors! At the same time, it’s just minutes from downtown Wilmington and Philadelphia.

The four-bedroom main house with five baths and four half-baths features a Joanne Hudson–designed kitchen, seven-zone geothermal heating, whole-home humidification system, elevator, wine cellar, and bowling alley.

Kansas: 66211 11513 Pawnee Cir, Leawood

Price: $4.9 million Gorgeous Georgian: This home might be located in the Midwest, but its inspiration was East Coast Georgian. The 11,000-square-foot home with five bedrooms, six baths, and three half-baths was completed in 2003.

The interior features Old World touches like silver and crystal antique features, antique fireplaces, intricate millwork, and sweeping staircase, which are paired with 21st-century must-haves like an exercise room, two media rooms, three laundry rooms, and a pool room. Fitting into neither category is the home’s quirky, working phone booth.

Outdoors, the 1-acre lot features upper and lower patios and a pool lined with spouting frog fountains.
