$700,000 to $3 million

Remember Melrose Place? Picture a modern-day version (minus Heather Locklear), only with a heated lap pool, fire pits, picturesque views—and best of all, it’s right in the middle of Kierland Commons. You can’t get much closer to the shopping and dining action than that. The sophisticated, contemporary residences will give urbanites everything they need, from sleek architecture to sushi and steak only a stone’s throw away. Standout residences include the five spacious penthouse suites that comprise up to 3,900 square feet, and the Executive Courtyard Plans that include a 15- by 30-foot courtyard ideal for alfresco lounging and barbecuing.

Bonus: Nearby Kierland Golf Club offers holes of championship golf.
