Local and Loving It

Architectural Digest recently published a slideshow entitled “Extraordinary Homes for Sale Around the World,” which showcases homes in Dallas, Texas; Siena, Italy; and Parrot Bay, Turks and Caicos. There’s no question that the homes and locales shown are stunning, but we believe they inadvertently omitted a fourth contender – our gorgeous Valley of the Sun.

And why not enjoy it all from the luxury of a Camelot Home?

When it comes to the extraordinary, nothing beats the peaceful beauty of a Sonoran Desert sunset.

Not to mention world-class events and attractions that call Arizona home year-round – this year in January and February alone we will host the Barrett Jackson Auto Show, Waste Management Phoenix Open, and Super Bowl XLIX!

So while Siena or Turks and Caicos may be beautiful this time of year as well, we recommend staying “home” and enjoying the sights and sounds of the Valley of the Sun from your own backyard! No passport required.
