THE COSTLIEST
NEIGHBORHOODS
FROM COAST TO
COAST
Which is the priciest neighborhood in each
state? With median listing prices ranging from
more than $6 million to as low as $346,000,
a study by realtor.com looked at the most
expensive neighborhoods in each and every
state as well as the District of Columbia.
To track down each state's priciest area, the
Realtor.com team calculated the median listing
price in 2018 for every ZIP code in the U.S.
that had an average of more than 30 listings per
month.
e most expensive neighborhood in the
country was not a huge surprise. With a median
home list price of $6.06 million, the iconic
90210 ZIP code in Beverly Hills, California
was hands down the costliest neighborhood
in the country. However, the list also included
some upcoming areas that have seen a price
boom in recent years.
One example was Birmingham, Alabama's
35223 ZIP Code where new jobs are leading to
a real estate boom. Buyers in this ZIP code can
buy Beverly Hills-style homes for a fraction of
that price. e median list price for a home in
this area is $611,612, according to the study.
While cities like New York and San
Diego continue to be favored by international
investors—the priciest neighborhood in New
York state was the Tribeca area's ZIP code
10013, with a median home list price of $4.7
million—Anchorage, Alaska has also been
seeing increasing interest from "deep-pocketed
international buyers," the study revealed. With
home prices averaging $537,129, Anchorage's
99516 ZIP code is the priciest housing market
pocket in Alaska.
From the arctic hills to a ski village, homes
in 81654 in Snowmass, Colorado are the
costliest in the state. With the median home
list price at more than $3.3 million the location
of this ski town consists of enormous mansions,
the study indicated.
Looking at the South, Miami remained
among the most expensive cities, with homes
in 33109, Fisher Island costing more than $3.5
million. e study revealed that the area had
become popular for second homes for some
of the world's wealthiest people. In Hawaii,
Kilauea's 96754 ZIP code was the priciest with
home prices costing a little over $2.2 million.
