With school back in session and bathing suits packed up ’til next year, we’re actually looking forward to the change of the season. With the onset of fall comes the glorious return of fall foliage, nature’s fiery pre-winter display.
And while the East Coast shines when it comes to leaf-peeping, it’s not the only place out there that’s great for beautiful trees in autumn. In fact, almost every region of the United States shows a little color in the cooler months.
Inspired by an article in Travel and Leisure that tours the country for the best places for spotting fall colors, we found eight homes on the market where you can enjoy the falling leaves—sometimes without even leaving your living room!
