With its Mediterranean climate, sun-drenched beaches, and tile roofs atop charming hillside homes, Santa Barbara has earned the moniker “American Riviera.” The peaceful community, just over an hour or so north of Los Angeles and home to approximately 90,000 permanent residents, is embraced by the Pacific Ocean on the south and Santa Ynez Mountains on the north.
Every summer, tennis transforms Wimbledon into the world’s most elegant sporting address. Yet beyond Centre Court, writes Mandi Keighran, southwest London has year-round appeal Wimbledon, London | United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty For a fortnight each summer, London’s genteel Wimbledon Village has the eyes of the world on it. As The Championships begin, the purple, green and white colors of the famed tennis tournament are strung above the quaint boutiques and pubs lining Wimbledon High Street, would-be champions set up home in the grand houses that locals vacate, and there’s a good chance of spotting a top seed over coffee at Maison St Cassien or the Bayley & Sage deli. “This gives the entire area a unique sense of refinement and prestige,” says Drew Zendra of United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty. “Unlike the boisterous energy of a football match, the tennis paints a very elegant picture that’s especially appealing to families.” What’s more, the charm of this leafy enclave endures long after the last strawberry is served. “Wimbledon is a special place, with a real sense of a village community—unusual in a big city like London,” says Richard Gladwin, one of three brothers behind local farm-to-table restaurant The Black Lamb (and its sister eateries in London’s Soho, Chelsea and Notting Hill). “Our regulars are so friendly and supportive, and our restaurant has a distinctly neighborhood feel. It perfectly encapsulates the British countryside in a rustic yet refined setting.” Wimbledon, London | United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty It’s this balance of big-city confidence and village calm that drew Zendra and team to open an office in the Village, as it’s referred to locally, during the 2025 tournament. As he says: “Wimbledon is a globally recognized name, owing to its long association with tennis.” The “Village”—a short walk uphill from Wimbledon town center with its mainline train, tram and underground station—is an appealing tapestry of handsome period villas set among newer builds. Take this six-bedroom Victorian house on Camp View, for example, with its light-filled family and reception spaces that spill out into a mature garden and a studio that works as home gym, workspace or creative hideaway. It sits directly opposite Wimbledon Common and the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club—among the country’s top 100—thereby offering access to both luxury sporting amenities and an expanse of green space year-round. Wimbledon, London | United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty Other Victorian homes have undergone impressive renovations. One on Ridgway, among the area’s most covetable addresses, features a period facade that conceals a high-end remodeling by Flower Michelin Architects, interiors by Gunter & Co design studio, and a landscaped garden that includes a detached coach house. Prospect Place, meanwhile, is a luxurious new-build that forms part of an intimate gated enclave of just five houses. It’s moments from both the natural beauty of Wimbledon Common and the main Village streets, with their independent boutiques and historic pubs—the Dog & Fox, Rose & Crown, and Fox & Grapes to name just three. Wimbledon Village Stables is also nearby, making it feel all the more like a distinguished country retreat rather than a family home in one of the world’s biggest cities. Coombe Estate, London | United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty Cross the main A3 road out of London towards Kingston and Richmond and the strikingly contemporary home Woodlands, in the private Coombe Estate, offers style and scale of another order, spanning 9,200 square feet with views across Coombe Hill Golf Course. Or there are characterful transformations, such as Beverley Lane, an expansion of a Grade II-listed former stable yard that spills out over more than 10,000 square feet, with its own octagonal turret. Both properties are near the Crown-owned Richmond Park, created by King Charles I in 1637 as a deer park and still home to more than 600 free-roaming red and fallow deer. Wimbledon, London | United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty For all its seasonal glamor, it’s this year-round appeal that defines Wimbledon and its neighboring areas. “Southwest London is one of the most desirable areas in the UK,” says Zendra, whose office covers the entire local market—Richmond, Wandsworth, Barnes, Putney and Battersea—and has strong links to the private Surrey estates of St George’s Hill, Wentworth and the Crown Estate. “With outstanding schools and open green spaces, the southwest suburbs are especially popular with families who are seeking the convenience of an urban address while enjoying the tranquility of a rural neighborhood,” concludes Zendra. Add the fast mainline train into London’s Waterloo terminal, and the area feels at once bucolic and connected. The Championships may come and go, but in Wimbledon Village the sense of refined, green-fringed calm is, like the grass courts themselves, carefully kept all year round. Melbourne, home to the Australian Open tennis tournament, is a city of coffee, culture and multitudes
This refined five-bedroom estate in a coveted neighborhood of Houston balances timeless French Provincial design with modern comfort and convenience. Although it enjoys an enviable location in one of the fastest-growing metropolises in the world—Houston—this refined manor with a stately limestone façade would be equally at home in the French countryside. Inspired by the quintessential estates of Provence, the 8,116-square-foot residence balances the elements of that iconic Old World aesthetic—featuring ornate millwork, handsome hardwood floors, marble and limestone fireplaces, stately beamed ceilings, striking ceramic tile, regal brass hardware, and a carefully chosen collection of French and Italian crystal sconces and chandeliers—with a dedication to modern comfort and convenience, boasting such amenities as an elevator and a generator. Houston, Texas| Patricia Reed, Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty – Central Houston Brokerage The residence is infused with a gracious classical ambience while remaining warm and welcoming. The formal living and dining rooms feel ideal for both quiet private moments and festive festivities for a crowd. The stylish state-of-the-art kitchen has been painstakingly appointed with Calacatta marble counters, an oversized artisan-crafted island, abundant cabinet space, a dramatic copper hood for the dual-oven six-burner range, and a full complement of appliances from Sub-Zero, ASKO, and Wolf. A butler’s pantry and a relaxing family room are steps away. A sophisticated sunroom with walls of windows and glass doors is a lively light-filled oasis with a wet bar, a nearby wine chiller, and a sweeping view of the serene landscaped grounds. The primary suite—one of five equally elegant and restful spaces—includes a luxurious bath and two impressively outfitted walk-in closets. In the secluded backyard, an alluring swimming pool with deck jets and a spa is surrounded by an emerald lawn, mature oak trees, and a pergola ideal for alfresco amusement and leisure. The larger environs—Houston’s Memorial Park neighborhood and the nearby River Oaks Country Club—are equally lush and enchanting. Just off the home’s four-car garage, a motor court offers ample parking for visitors, who are sure to be plentiful in this ever-growing yet enduringly idyllic location.

The ultra-wealthy—those with a net worth of US$30M+—are highly mobile. Almost one in five live outside the country they were born in, according to “Global Citizens: Entrepreneurship, Mobility and the Ultra Wealthy,” published April 22, 2026, by Altrata. This slice of the world’s ultra-wealthy population is fueling demand for luxury homes across multiple jurisdictions. But what are their key migration routes? The report identifies where those relocating to the wealth centers of London, Singapore and the U.S. are coming from. It shows that India and the U.S. are the top countries of birth for globally mobile UHNWIs living in London; in Singapore, they are most likely to have been born in China or India; meanwhile Canada and India are the top countries of birth for UHNWIs who have moved to the U.S. The research also reveals that this group of UHNWIs has an average age of 65.7 and that nine in ten of them are men. “Wealth is becoming increasingly global in both movement and mindset,” says Moira Boyle, global head of luxury at Altrata. “Today’s foreign-born UHNW population is highly entrepreneurial, globally connected … and concentrated in key international wealth hubs like London, Singapore and the U.S.” Cover Property: United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty
