The Most Expensive Zip Codes in Every State

Finding the most expensive neighborhood in every state is simple, you just look for the nicest, most posh houses. A lot of times this will reveal the most upscale locations to live.

Alabama-36564

Based in Fairhope, this neighborhood is quite safe and has a median home value that’s well over half a million dollars. Unfortunately, this makes it tough to sell to anyone but the most affluent of society.

Alaska-99516

Located in Anchorage, this location is still kind of pricey. Homes that are valued at over $400K are normal in this area, but the views are said to be worth it.

Arizona-85253

People love the desert, and the $1M price tag affixed to many homes proves it. Paradise Valley is not a cheap spot, but it makes up for the price with plenty of luxuries.

Arkansas-72223

This neighborhood in Little Rock isn’t the most expensive neighborhood in the nation with home values around $300K. But it does have a lot of charm.

California-94027

Did you really expect anything less from California? The fact that the median home value is $7M and up isn’t tough to believe, since Cali is rife with opportunity.

Colorado-81611

One word says it all: Aspen. The home values go up to $4M and above, making this an insanely expensive neighborhood.

Connecticut-06830

The general feeling is that several eastern states house at least one expensive neighborhood or more. With a home value of $2M or more, it’s not hard to validate such a feeling.

Delaware-19707

The amount of history that’s found in the eastern states is impossible to deny. But despite the desirable location, the home values don’t often rise by half a million.

Florida-33921

Just the name, Palm Beach, creates pleasing images of an expensive neighborhood that’s filled with pricey homes. With a median home value of $4M and more, that’s easy to back up.

Georgia-30327

It does feel as though the money would stick close to the capital in some cases, and this neighborhood near Atlanta lives up to that idea. At roughly $1M or more in median home value, this spot is worth quite a bit.

Hawaii-96821

One might expect living in Hawaii to be expensive, and they’d be right. The home values in this neighborhood are around $1M and up, but the luxuries that are close by make it worth it to a lot of people.

Idaho-83353

A lot of neighborhoods in the West aren’t quite that expensive. But as Idaho shows, the $1M price tag isn’t unknown in these parts.

Illinois-60610

Located in Chicago, this neighborhood is valued around $1.8M in median home value. That’s a nice chunk of change, right? Plus, a lot of people still love the suburbs.

Indiana-46077

It’s amazing how one neighborhood can be worth millions in terms of home value, while others are far below that mark. Sometimes simplicity makes it easier to thrive though.

Iowa-51355

There’s something to be said about the charm of the surrounding landscape. It does add value, as the $600K median value in this neighborhood would prove.

Kansas-66211

An expensive neighborhood isn’t always bound to be exclusive in any way. The fact that this location has a median value of $600K and is family-friendly makes it even more appealing.

Kentucky-40059

There’s a lot to be said about small-town charm, and the $400K price tag backs that up. Of course, the fact that it’s located near so many amenities is nice too.

Louisiana-70115

The “Big Easy” isn’t the cheapest area to live in at a median value of half a million or more. But it is one of the most entertaining by far.

Maine-04074

You can’t really say small-town charm enough, right? But when these small towns come with a price tag of $700K or greater it does set things in perspective.

Maryland-20815

This close to D.C. it’s fair to assume that the median home value is going to be $1M and up. But the residents apparently think it’s worth it.

Massachusetts-02108

What’s your idea of an expensive neighborhood? If it’s $5M or more then you’d fit in just fine in this area. Being a history buff would be a plus too.

Michigan-48009

As one of the more walkable communities on this list, the area is surprisingly affordable compared to many others. The value of $500K isn’t that tough for some people to meet.

Minnesota-55405

This neighborhood in Minneapolis feels like it’s reached an accomplishment with a home value of $1M and up. Being so close to a major city has its perks.

Mississippi-39110

Believe it or not, the median home value doesn’t even touch $300K. That makes this an easy place for many people to live comfortably, relatively speaking.

Missouri-63124

For a neighborhood that a lot of people don’t know about, $800K in home value is impressive. But with the type of history that this place has it’s not tough to see how it’s worth so much.

Montana-59716

This area is kind of pricey, but it’s also easily accessible to Bozeman and not too far away from Yellowstone. Hey, for a value of $395K that’s not too bad.

Nebraska-68520

If you’re a history buff, love the outdoors, or just need a spot for a family, this is a great spot. The average value of a home is around $360k and up, but it’s not out of reach.

Nevada-89451

This close to Reno it’s not tough to wonder why the home values would rise to $1M. It’s a highly desirable location, ’nuff said.

New Hampshire-03854

It does feel as though the eastern side of the nation has a lot more value in their neighborhoods since $1M and up is rather expensive. But in some ways, it balances out since every state has expensive neighborhoods and working-class neighborhoods.

New Jersey-07620

This close to Manhattan one would almost expect the cost of living to be expensive. For all that, it’s downplayed, a $2M home value sounds right for Jersey.

New Mexico-87506

It’s not the best or worst area in the nation to live, which could explain the $600K value. That sounds like it’s more than the middle of the road, but it’s closer than many think.

New York-11201

It’s easy to say that New York is an expensive place to live. People want to be here, and a $4M price tag isn’t going to deter everyone.

North Carolina-28480

Beach property often raises the value, you know, to $1M or more depending on the location. But given that this place does cater to a lot of tourists and high-end locals, it’s not hard to figure out the why of the price.

North Dakota-58503

The median value here is around $330K and up, so it’s not too terribly expensive. But given that this place experiences extremes in weather, it’s fair to say that people think hard about moving here.

Ohio-45174

This neighborhood feels like it could sustain a lot of different people. But the $480K value is kind of indicative of a slightly higher caliber of neighbor.

Oklahoma-73151

For a place that’s worth quite a bit of money, the $400K value is kind of surprising. But it is down to earth in a lot of ways, so maybe that’s the draw.

Oregon-97210

The exorbitant $900K home value isn’t shared by everyone in Portland, and a tour through the city makes this obvious. But it does have stunning views if you live high enough.

Pennsylvania-19103

History buffs would likely see the value in this place and be able to understand the home value that starts at $1.2M. It is a location that many would agree is steeped in the nation’s lore.

Rhode Island-02807

For such a small area one might see the home value of $1M as a little tough to justify. But there does appear to be plenty of appeal.

South Carolina-29482

South Dakota-57702

This is fairly inexpensive at a home value of $240K and above. There’s plenty to do and see around this neighborhood, which makes it a nice place to live.

Tennessee-37215

With history, convenience, and entertainment nearby one should expect the home value to stick around $700K and up. Wherever people want to be, the cost is bound to go up.

Texas-75205

Everything is bigger in Texas, right? Well, the home value isn’t the biggest, but it’s greater than other states at $1.6K and above.

Utah-84060

Park City sounds like a spendy place if the home value is up around $1.6K. But there are plenty of sights and entertainment to enjoy around this area, so it makes sense.

Vermont-05672

For the view, the value of $400 and greater isn’t too bad. Considering the skiing nearby, it’s even cheaper.

Virginia-22102

Given the number of businessmen and diplomats that call this place home, the home value of $1.2M and up isn’t tough to imagine. It’s well out of the reach of many people, but not those who can depend on a huge paycheck.

Washington-98039

How many people know where Medina is in Washington? Given its proximity to Seattle, one should expect a value of around $2.7M and greater.

West Virginia-25442

With everything that there is to do around this place, it does feel insanely valuable. And yet, one of the most expensive neighborhoods has a median home value of $300K and greater.

Wisconsin-53726

Wyoming-82009

The history of the West is alive in this place, which could explain its allure. But the other part might be the low median value of $270K and above.
