Most people expect luxury homes in a private and gated community to be overpriced. In reality, several properties may cost $3 million or less.
For example, about that amount buys a 1.62-acre estate in Tuscon, Arizona, that recently hit the market. In Hawaii, where most properties fetch premium prices, a $2.3 million luxury home is considered to be a rare find. In Nevada, options in the $3-million range include a spot on a private cul-de-sac.
Here are some of the best luxury homes in gated communities in Arizona, Hawaii and Nevada as listed by three elite brokers: Hawai’i Life, RETSY and The Ivan Sher Group.
