“When shopping for a home in Coronado/San Diego I highly suggest working with the Nelson Riddle team. I worked Jim Nelson for over 6 years looking for the perfect place that would accommodate my budget and check all the boxes. I really cant believe he actually kept taking my calls? He never pressured me, and it never seemed like he was getting aggravated with my almost buys. After the sale he has become a great resource for any questions and all in all just a great guy. When looking start with Jim, then make your decision.”
“We were very lucky to have Jim and Debbie representing us in our home purchase. We met Jim through a referral and from the day of our first meeting to our date of closing was only 53 days. We had a very specific set of needs and Jim knew immediately which house on the market would work for us. Once our offer was accepted, our transaction encountered a number of challenging circumstances along the way, on both the buyer and seller side, and Jim was able to keep the process moving and on course. At every step of the way it was clear that Jim's focus was working toward our best interest. I was very impressed with his knowledge and work ethic and would definitely recommend the Nelson Riddle team to anyone in need of Real Estate expertise.”
“We have bought and sold many homes over the past few decades. We have never had a better experience than we had with Nelson Riddle team. The house sold for top dollar, the selling process was almost effortless, their marketing materials are top-notch, and they do it all with a sense of urgency, easy manner, and with a smile. Do use.”

At nearly 300 ft. elevation and only 1 mile from the ocean, this estate offers commanding, panoramic, and spectacular sit-down ocean views with year-round sunsets from both levels of the home.
Recent renovations encompass the entire lower level, kitchen, and upstairs bath, along with extensive landscape and hardscape improvements on the expansive west terrace. The bright, open living space extends out to over 2,000 sq. ft. of the west entertainer’s terrace, perfect for hosting gatherings. The home includes 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, with potential for an ADU. A large formal office adds to the home’s functionality.
The 3-car garage features an adjoining large flex room/ gym or finished storage space, all offering breathtaking ocean views from the 175-ft.-wide lot.

Arecent study by Architectural Digest (AD) pinpoints the hottest emerging markets for luxury living in the U.S. The list features 115 cities experiencing population growth and exceeding 100,000 residents. “These cities offer more than affluence; they provide a lifestyle where quality, comfort, and luxury are at the forefront,” wrote Amanda Lutz. The analysis considered six key factors: activities, properties, dining, annual income, diversity, and safety.
California dominates the top three spots, with Irvine, Carlsbad, and Chula Vista leading the charge. Notably, Carlsbad, Lewisville (TX), and Tempe (AZ) boast the highest concentration of luxury activities per capita. For those seeking million-dollar properties, Irvine, Carlsbad, and Scottsdale (AZ) reign supreme. Foodies have Manchester (NH), Lincoln (NE), and Norman (OK) to consider, while Carlsbad, Frisco (TX), and Irvine offer the highest percentage of affluent households. Safety leaders include Port St. Lucie (FL), Frisco, and McKinney (TX), while Sacramento (CA), Elk Grove (CA), and New Haven (CT) boast the most diverse populations. This data-driven study utilized various sources like Redfin, Yelp,
the U.S. Census Bureau, and the FBI to identify these rising stars of luxury living.
We decided to take a closer look at the top three rising luxury cities for properties worth more than $1 million: Irvine, Carlsbad and Scottsdale. We spoke exclusively to Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists in each market for their take on what makes these cities so deeply sought-after by their affluent clients.
“Irvine has become an increasingly popular So Cal luxury living hotspot for several reasons – including the most pleasant year-round climate in the country, superb public schools and nearby private schools, the ‘Safest City’ in the U.S. for 18 years according to the FBI, conducive to healthyliving with beautiful parks, hiking and biking trails, and its ideal location near major freeways and first-class dining, shopping, and entertainment. The City of Irvine’s business-friendly approach continues to attract new and growing businesses in a variety of industries. Most notably, Irvine is now recognized as a tech industry powerhouse with new startups and established companies — only minutes from John Wayne Airport and its FBOs. Many of our luxury clientele find the exclusive Irvine luxury gated communities of Shady Canyon and Hidden Canyon to be ideal enclaves for additional amenities and privacy. Also, the private gated communities of Orchard Hills, Altair, and Laguna Altair provide their own unique and wonderful features.” - Doug Swardstrom, Coldwell Banker agent in Newport Beach
“Carlsbad’s transformation has been incredible to watch. It’s gone from a sleepy beach town to a vibrant, affluent community today. Young families and professionals are flocking here for the amazing schools, safety, and of course, being right by the beach. Foodies and young, active types are loving the scene too – trendy restaurants and upscale shops are popping up everywhere. The average luxury home price reflects this boom, now exceeding $1.8 million with the lowest inventory I’ve ever seen. I’ve lived here since 1998 and it’s a special place. It’s not surprising to me that it’s become so popular as an emerging luxury city.” - Lori Barnett, Coldwell Banker agent in Encinitas
“Scottsdale and Paradise Valley attract buyers worldwide due to the great weather, and active lifestyle amenities such as hiking, golfing, cycling, pickleball, and more. Climate plays a big role along with affordable housing, property tax structure, and access to entertainment and employment opportunities. Technology and healthcare are expanding rapidly. ASU’s efforts to graduate students in these sectors offer employers many options locally which has contributed to overall growth. Shopping, dining, and renowned resorts such as the newly built Ritz-Carlton opening in 2024/25 are the icing on the cake. Tourism plays a big role in attracting people to the state and the wonderful culture keeps them here.” - Karen Bosch, Coldwell Banker agent in Scottsdale

Nestled in the heart of Argentina’s northwest, the province of Jujuy beckons travelers with its rich tapestry of flavors, vibrant landscapes, and ancient traditions.

Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or a curious wanderer, Jujuy promises to leave a mark on your soul.
Jujuy’s gastronomy is more than just sustenance; it’s a portal to the past. Each dish carries a story—a whisper of generations past, a celebration of the land. As you explore the winding streets of Jujuy, let your taste buds guide you through a journey of authenticity and tradition. But it’s not just the food that captivates; it’s the vibrant ancestral culture that pulses through every corner. As Jorge Villar, Broker Owner at Coldwell Banker Plaza
Real Estate, aptly puts it, “Jujuy is a place full of charm, with breathtaking landscapes and a vibrant ancestral culture, surpassed only by the growing forces of its people.” The warmth and hospitality of the locals envelop you, inviting you to dance to the rhythm of folk music and immerse yourself in age-old traditions. Indeed, Jujuy is a symphony of colors, flavors, and traditions—an experience that lingers long after you’ve returned home.

Stand in awe before the multicolored layers of Cerro de los Siete Colores in Purmamarca, and let the wind carry tales of ancient civilizations. Jujuy is more than a destination; it’s an invitation to connect—with the land, with the past, and with the beating heart of Argentina’s northwest.
