Data Reveals Most Expensive Zip Codes in U.S. (2006)
|
What's the difference between 11962 and 28741? When it comes to house prices, the answer is $2,125,000.
Those ZIP codes bookend Forbes.com's annual list of the priciest areas in the country--neighborhoods where home costs soar far above the norm. This year, we collected the top 500 most expensive ZIP codes in the U.S. They include the most famous (perhaps the only famous) ZIP in the country, Beverly Hills, 90210; some towns that are well-known for harboring ritzy residents; and neighborhoods that few besides locals have ever heard of.
- But they do have a lot in common. The most expensive ZIP codes are, for the most part, the kinds of places you would expect them to be--at the ocean's edge, in lush valleys, on hillsides with magnificent views.
- They're well stocked with golf courses, country clubs and private docks.
