For those who enjoy the outdoor life, there's nothing quite like the warm sunshine and beautiful landscapes of Arizona. Properties in this state offer easy access to trails for walking, biking and horse riding, and the air is clean and fresh.

Many deluxe residences in Central Arizona offer a “bonus room,” which can be almost anything you want it to be. Consider creating a home fitness center, library, playroom or even a craft or hobby room. These areas can usually serve as a spare bedroom as well, should you just want the extra space.
