From Atlanta’s Glenwood Park to California’s Monterra, there’s a new wave of real estate that plays on what we all desire: convenience. “People have a philosophy, now, that’s like, ‘I can work from home, so let me have everything else within reach as well,’” says Prudential realtor for Midtown Atlanta Pamela Hudson. That is why we’ve highlighted nine luxe up-and-coming communities that are worth the investment. So, go ahead and get your realtor on the phone, because there is truly no other place you’d rather call home.

MONTERRA: MONTEREY, CALIF.
Price: Starting at $1.8 million (homes)
Prime Buyers: Young families and nature enthusiasts

Monterra is an exclusive gated community on Monterey Bay that prides itself on being in tune with nature. Thus, all 168 custom estates, which are on two to 20 acres, are hidden among indigenous wildflowers and trees (monterra-monterey.com). “This is not your traditional country club living. Our residents live a very active lifestyle. We organize nature hikes, wine tastings and events around the activities [the residents] like. And most of the people who live here are artsy,” says Vanessa Carnivale, Marketing Associate for Monterra. Within the gates is the Tehama Fitness Center with a massage room and wi-fi, but five minutes outside the gates are five-star restaurants, Monterey Bay Aquarium, art galleries and top-tier private schools.
