Price: $1.695 million
Location: Oakland, California
There are indeed high rises in Oakland, and the one in which Stephen Curry is selling his two-storey penthouse is actually the only one in the area. Located at Jack London Square and measuring in at a modest 2,084-square-feet, the $1.695 million condo has got three bedrooms and four bathrooms. However, the amazing view of the city and bay is what you’d truly be paying for, made possible by floor-to-ceiling windows sprawled throughout, as well as three balconies and a patio with a gas fireplace. A concierge, fitness center and pool are among the building’s shared amenities, although you wouldn’t be sharing many walls of this corner unit with your neighbours. Three parking spaces round out the listing.

Kevin Durant is downsizing (sort of)
Price: $1.95 million
Location: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Situated on just over one acre and measuring in at 5,545-square-feet, Kevin Durant’s recently-listed residence commands a relatively more modest $1.95 million asking price. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom split-level was built in 2001 a stone’s throw from OKC’s Gaillardia Golf & Country Club. It features vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring and a large, two-bedroom guest house sharing that back area with a massive pool. Don’t worry, Durant won’t be missing it anytime soon: he just bought a pair of abuting brownstones near the Chesapeake Energy Arena downtown for around $1.769 million, and he plans to combine them into a 7,400-square-foot flat. Now that’s what we call downsizing.
