Sol-like systems are out there.

But, you could come up with interesting things to do in space with a system that has a Hot Jupiter. Good place for pirates to hide, if there are no useful worlds (if you're doing a more space-opera sort of thing where space pirates can be a thing).

Also, a Jupiter-mass planet in the liquid water zone could have a Ganymede-sized moon with happy life tooling around on it, or human colonies.
