Phoenix, arizona
Very few cities offer as much in luxury golf course
living as does phoenix and the surrounding valley. Real
estate pro Zenja Darabnia of Solutions Real estate
knows golf course homes. Whether you like center-city
your environment include
spousal abuse?
These questions
often go unanswered

living, like phoenix’s arizona Biltmore, or the more suburban
feel of Desert Mountain, phoenix offers many

For true golf caché, many look to South Florida. I visited
Greg Gorman’s website, www.teamparadise.com,
and researched high end communities such as pelican
Marsh and Grey oaks, where price tags reach near $5
million. “South Florida really does give you the best climate
to golf, not to mention the opportunity to jump into
the water to cool off after,” says resident Marsha Bryant.
