Los Angeles, CA
Home to stars and dreamers alike, Los Angeles likely serves as the center of the pop culture universe in the country, if not the world. Known for its city sprawl, it can feel smaller when you center yourself in specific neighborhoods.
With average high temperatures that never dip below the high-60s or rise above the mid-80s, Los Angeles’ climate is ideal for most. Though environmental issues persist, it’s easy to lose track of what ails the city when you spend time at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Center, or even the Staples Center.
If you are looking for a mountain house outside the city to get away from the hustle and bustle of L.A. life, Vail might be the perfect place for you. View our portfolio to see what you can find today.
San Francisco, CA
While the Gold Rush may be what put San Francisco on the map for many, its plethora of commercial interests has kept the city a place to envy for generations. It's now home to technology giants and baseball Giants alike.
Neighborhoods and commercial districts are easily walkable. In fact, only New York ranks as a more walkable city, according to WalkScore.com. Unique, gorgeous, and culturally rich, San Francisco offers residents a consistently high quality of living and provides tourists a destination unlike anything else.
If you are looking for a second home with amazing outdoor amenities, look no further than Colorado. The luxury second homes and architectural approach provided in Vail and the surrounding cities prove to be why so many people are flocking here. View our portfolio to learn more.
Austin, TX

Austin is also the state capital of Texas. The combination of politics, commercial opportunities, and artistic endeavors make the city a true gathering place for people of all kinds.

Dallas, TX
Things are just bigger down in Texas, and there may be no better example of that than Dallas. With a diverse population flowing throughout the many college campuses and Fortune 500 companies that fill the city landscape, Dallas seems to have everything for everybody.
Though the city is immensely proud of its Cowboys, the passion for its basketball-playing Mavericks runs just as deep. With beautiful parks and cultural interest points dispersed throughout the city limits, anyone should be proud to call Dallas home.
If you want to get out of Dallas, whether for a weekend away or an extended time, luxury second homes in Vail just might be your style. View our portfolio of homes to get an idea of what could be at your fingertips.
Houston, TX
The last Texas city on our list, Houston, is certainly not least among its peers. A truly global city, it somehow finds the space to fit everything from multiple world champion sports teams to NASA mission control to the most park and green space, by acres, of any of the ten most populated cities in the country. Houston also houses the most Fortune 500 headquarters of any city besides New York.
The city’s diverse population is unrivaled throughout the country. This helps everyone feel at home here.
