To celebrate America's Independence Day, we take a whistle-stop tour across the US to view some of the best properties for sale.
The 4th July means fireworks, hot dogs, and marching bands - all in the name of celebrating America's birthday.
And when it comes to the US property market, there's plenty to celebrate. The luxury property market in Miami and Los Angeles were among the world’s top performers in 2021 and is expected to outperform in 2022, marking a healthy rebound from the pandemic.
Whether you can see yourself relaxing on the beaches of Miami, or making your fortune on Wall Street in New York, the US is a treasure trove of incredible properties that are full of historic and architectural character.
Below, we take a look at 4 of our favourite properties for sale from 4 of our favourite US States: NYC in New York, Miami in Florida, West Hollywood in Los Angeles, and Houston in Texas.
