“Lifestyle real estate” is one of the hottest new residential property trends in
America—especially with so many more people working from home. So, are

POLO FANATICS
Polo players are known for their well-heeled tastes and affinity for luxury real estate.
These exclusive enclaves won’t let them down.
Wellington, Florida Southampton, New York Montecito, California
Five miles west of the glitz and glamour of Southampton is world-renowned as much for Montecito is home to Oprah Winfrey, Rob
Palm Beach is America’s polo epicenter, its summer celebs and beachfront mansions Lowe and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—
where some of the world’s best players (and as it is for its polo, and the Southampton Hunt and just up Route 1 from the world-famous
their horses) reside and train. & Polo Club is one of America’s largest. Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club.
REAL ESTATE
When the temperatures drop and snow swirls, these locales
come alive. World-class snow sports, expansive landscapes,
hopping downtowns and cultural institutions are right on
your doorstep.
Annapolis, Maryland
As the gateway to the Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis is home to
over a dozen yacht and sailing clubs, the U.S. Naval Academy
and some of the most majestic waterfront properties in the Mid-
Atlantic.
Boulder, Colorado
The hub of the Rockies is known for its outdoor lifestyle, progressive
wellness vibe and family-oriented communities. Plus, it’s minutes
from Denver and world-class skiing.

LIFESTYLE LIVING
REAL ESTATE
Some people just prefer living high in the sky where the
air is clear, the bustle abates and the views go on for miles.
Penthouses aren’t bad either, of course.
Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
Porsche Design Tower, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Mansions
at Acqualina, Residences by Casa Armani, and six (yes six) Trump
towers all call this South Florida beach city home.
San Diego, California
Doctors, healthcare CEOs and tech entrepreneurs made this eco-
friendly waterfront city one of the best places to live in America—
only elevated by 360-degree ocean and mountain views.
Portland, Oregon
Few places in the Pacific Northwest offer better views than
Portland, situated on the Columbia River in the shadow of the
iconic, snow-capped Mount Hood. Oh, and don’t overlook the Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
microbreweries and coffeehouses. Mia2you/Shutterstock
Woodstock, Vermont
Queen Anne mansions and historic inns, shops and restaurants
surround this town’s quintessential central “Green.” Outside of
town, the covered bridges, antique malls and seasonal fall colors
are textbook Vermont.
Telluride, Colorado
It doesn’t get more classically Victorian and architecturally jaw-
dropping than this Colorado mining town nestled into the 1,000-
foot walls of the San Juan Mountains—where world-class skiing,
climbing, fishing, biking and hiking abound.
RETIRING EARLY
Say goodbye to bingo and buffet days. If you’re thinking
about retiring early but don’t want to give up the joys of
middle age, these three spots are for you.
Vero Beach, Florida
Even if it didn’t have 232 days of sunshine a year, Vero Beach’s
understated affluence, pristine beaches, cultured lifestyle and age
diversity make it one of Florida’s newest best places to retire.

billionaires), tech titans and power
brokers in their jeans and T-shirts?
Try these towns on for size.

the U.S.—and it has the waterfront real

Donald Rumsfeld and the lords of K

GRANDE INDEED
The Azimut Grande Trideck is the flagship of the Azimut Grande series. It features an
extra partial-deck level, aptly named the Sea View Terrace due to it being like a mezzanine
perched above the water. This adds to the already-ample alfresco space. The interior
offers excellent views of the water and is available for personalization. azimutyachts.com

YOUR MAJESTY
Among the world’s largest semi-custom yachts, the Majesty
175 naturally has ample relaxation and entertainment areas,
including a private infinity-edge pool on the forward deck
and an enclosed sky lounge that can be converted into a
super-chic open-air lounge. A relatively shallow draft means
you can access idyllic anchorages that other yachts of these
dimensions cannot. majestyyachtsusa.com
X-TRA COOL
The Wallytender 43X is quintessentially Wally—super-sleek
and super-flexible for different uses. It has a cockpit with
wraparound glass for wind protection, plus expansive side-
opening platforms, greatly increasing usable space. The engine
options promise wickedly fast speeds, too. Push-button-
deployed fenders, a standard Wally feature, keep the profile
clean underway and at anchor. wally.com
ELECTRIFYING FUN
Baltic Yachts created the 68 Café Racer to employ a number of eco-
friendly systems and construction materials, including sustainable
wood, electric motors and solar panels. Simultaneously, the
shipyard designed the yacht as a “day sailer with attitude,” much
like the Café Racer era in the 1960s, when British motorcyclists
modified their bikes for speed over short distances. balticyachts.fi
